Attn: ABI Software Developers

REMINDER: On Wednesday, November 6, 2013, CBP will have the scheduled weekly outage to ACE Certification from 0600 EDT – 1800 EDT. Should the outage end earlier than anticipated, you will be advised via CSMS Message.

Please Note: ACE Certification is the testing environment used by trade software developers. If you are not developing or testing software, this outage does not apply to you.

ACE Production will not be impacted.

Below are the fixes that impact the ABI developers:

ACE_IR_1229 - Improves the validations in an ACE Entry Summary Create/Update transaction (AE) of the Designated Notify (4811) Party to ensure that the format of the reported party is valid and the party is known.

ACE_PR_48141 - Fixes a problem where an ACE Entry Summary Create/Update transaction (AE) is incorrectly accepted in a scenario where required bill data is not present.

ACE_PR_48795 - Fixes a problem where an ACE Entry Summary Create/Update transaction (AE) is incorrectly rejected when code '5A' is used as a FCC Import Condition Code.

ACE_PR_48913 - Fixes a problem where ACE accepts an Entry Summary Create/Update transaction (AE) with Payment Type Code = 7 (Batched by Importer of Record & subdivision suffix -- monthly statement) when the importer is not authorized for PMS (Periodic Monthly Statement).

Please contact your Client Representative should you have any questions.
