U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is aware that some Automated Broker Interface (ABI) filers have the misconception that Remote Location Filing (RLF) cannot be used with the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Entry Summaries. Please refer to the Business Rules and Process Document (Trade) posted to CBP.gov which states that: Electronic Invoice Program (EIP) and RLF are available for ACE filed Entry Summaries, entry types 01 and 11. The URL for the Business Rules and Process Document (Trade) is: http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/trade/trade_programs/entry_summary/ace/

Please note you may need to copy and paste the URL into your internet browser.

Later this fall, CBP will be deploying enhancements to the EIP and RLF programs which will allow Antidumping (AD)/Countervailing (CVD) consumption entry summaries (Entry Type 03) to be filed ACE. As soon as we have a firm date for the implementation a new CSMS will be issued on the enhancement to the EIP and RLF programs. It should be noted that this enhancement will NOT apply to AD/CVD entry summaries (Entry Type 03) filed in the Automated Commercial System (ACS).
