Title:Enhancement to ABI Air In-Bond being Deployed on August 18, 2013
Date:2013-08-13
To:abi
Links:previous, original, next

This message is to advise the trade of a programming change to the ABI Air In-Bond message (Application ID QX)requiring the Mexican Pedimento Entry Number for all Southbound I.E. In-Bond shipments originating at all Southern Border Ports.

For ABI filers transmitting the Air In-Bond transaction via ABI, the Pedimento Entry Number should be sent as follows:

In the QX10 record, the Pedimento Number (15 positions) shall start in Position 53 and stop in Position 67.

Beginning on August 18, 2013, any I.E. In-Bond shipment being exported from a Southern Border Port to Mexico that does not include the Mexican Pedimento Entry Number will be rejected by ACS, and the I.E. movement will NOT be authorized.
