U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is working to complete the development of core trade processing capabilities in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) and decommission corresponding capabilities in legacy systems by the end of 2016. This notice is a reminder on new capabilities available to trade community users on August 8th.
Remote Location Filing (RLF) for ACE Entry Summaries Certified for ACE Cargo Release
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RLF will be available for filers who submit ACE Entry Summaries certified for ACE Cargo Release. When you file ACE Entry Summary RLF transactions certified for ACE Cargo Release, the invoice submissions to CBP must be sent via the Document Image System (DIS).
To submit documents to CBP via DIS:
1. Transmit in XML format via ABI. See the DIS Implementation Guide for more information on submitting via ABI.
2. Send via email. For more details review the DIS Implementation Guide – Appendix B for information on submitting via e-mail.
The above mentioned documents are available at the following URL: http://www.cbp.gov/document/forms/dis-implementation-guide
Please note: Electronic invoice submissions are not supported through ACE Portal upload functionality.
Filing RLF Transactions that are certified for ACE Cargo Release will allow you to file single transaction bonds electronically via ACE eBond. For more information about ACE eBond, please visit the eBond page located at: http://www.cbp.gov/trade/trade-community/programs-administration/bonds/ebond/ebond-future-bonds-ace
Single Pay Option for ACE Entry Summaries
-----------------------------------------
To date, when an ACE entry summary is submitted, ACE has had a validation in place that rejects the summary if it is not paid on statement. CBP will eliminate this Header Single Pay Claim Restriction. As a result, trade users will be able to select Single Pay or Statements as options for the pay basis for ACE Entry Summaries.
Refactored Entry Summary Types 01, 03, and 11 in new ACE Platform
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The way ACE processes Entry summary types 01, 03, and 11 will be updated or ‘refactored’. While this transition should be seamless for filers, CBP has encouraged filers to test in CERT prior to August 8
Entry Type 52, Entry Summary Types 51 & 52
------------------------------------------
Entry type 52 (Government – Dutiable) will be available for filing and processing in ACE. Also at this time, entry summary types 51 (Defense Contract Administration Service Region (DCASR) and 52 will be available for filing and processing in ACE.
