U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has deployed the following new capabilities to the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE):
• Notes Feature
ACE now supports the ability for CBP users to transmit notes to filers about an entry. Messages to the filer are transmitted through the Automated Broker Interface (ABI) on the SO20 record. When a note is issued, ACE will resend the latest status message along with the note from CBP. Notes may include requests for additional data, reasons for rejection of a corrections/cancellation request, or other requests for information necessary to process the entry. This feature is not supported for paper submissions. For reference, the Cargo Release Status Notification chapter of the CBP and Trade Automated Interface Requirements (CATAIR) featuring SO20 coding requirements is available at: http://www.cbp.gov/document/guidance/cargo-release-status-notification-implementation-guide
• Messaging Windows
ACE processing has been revised to adjust when status messages are issued to filers. Manifest Hold or Intensive Exam status messages will not be sent any earlier than the variable release window, regardless of the mode of transportation. Previously, some status messages were being issued outside the variable release window.
