Attn: ALL ABI Software Developers
On October 20, 2010, CBP published a Federal Register Notice (FRN), 75 FR 64737, announcing the next release of ACE concerning the transmission of required advance ocean and rail data through the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE).
There are MANDATORY changes to functionality that impact ABI software developers and their users. These changes are found in ABI Application Identifiers QP and WP (In-Bond), BD (Broker Download), and NS (Status Notifications).
The ACE CATAIR Chapters with the new records layouts can be found at:
In the near future, a Federal Register Notice will be published announcing a 6 month time frame for the decommissioning of ACS Ocean/Rail Manifest and related functionality. The 6 month timeframe will commence from the date of Notice publication in the Federal Register.
Please NOTE that the ABI Applications identified above are included in the functionality that will be decommissioned in ACS. THEREFORE, all software changes to these ABI applications MUST be made before the timeframe specified in the upcoming Federal Register Notice.
Please contact your Client Representative for information on testing these changes.
