Title:Changes to CAMIR Ocean Manifest Format
Date:2013-05-06
To:ocean
Links:previous, original, next

In an effort to give the trade software developers adequate time to make software changes, this notice is to inform you of changes that will be put into ACE Production on or about 8/10/2013. These changes apply to CAMIR Ocean Manifest format only. CBP would appreciate it if software developers could make these changes as soon as possible and test these changes thoroughly. The transactions will not be rejected until the August 2013 ACE Production date.

ACE_PR_48662 - ACE will begin rejecting CAMIR transactions containing new line in input data. Currently, ACE is receiving some CAMIR EDI messages where there are new line characters embedded within a record (such as within an N00 record). After the changes is deployed to ACE Production, new line characters will no longer be accepted.

ACE_PR_48478 - ACE will begin rejecting CAMIR messages that contain a volume longer than 8 digits. This is to avoid downstream downloads failing when converted to ANSI X.12.

ACE_PR_48320 – ACE will no longer send duplicate downloads to the Port Authority (PA) in the scenario where their port is both the scheduled port for a BOL and the in-bond destination port.

ACE_PR_48225 - ACE will begin rejecting CAMIR transactions containing an asterisk (*) in input data. This is to avoid downstream downloads failing when converted to ANSI X.12.

Please address any questions to your Client Representative.
