CSMS Message: 16-000791

Please be advised that there will be an ACE PRODUCTION deployment on Thursday morning, September 8, 2016, starting at 0600 ET.

The deployment is expected to take approximately 30 minutes, and will impact ACE Cargo Release and ACE Entry Summary processing.

To be deployed:

ACE Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) table maintenance
------------------------------------------------------
• Bulk update PGA and AD/CVD flagging

ACE PGA

• Infrastructure maintenance activities.

ACE Entry Summary
-----------------
• CES-4171: Not all IR Tax lines rejected.
Previously an Entry Summary with multiple IR tax lines stopped validating after one line received an IR Tax Accepted ‘X’ message.

In one example AE, if lines 003, 004, and 007 all have the same HTS and class code (016), only lines 003 & 004 rejected for "IR TAX NOT ALLOWED FOR ARTICLE" and line 006 rejected for "IR TAX ACCEPTED; ‘X’ COMP CODE". Line 007 did not generate a reject even though it was identical to 003 & 004.
This fix will allow all IR tax lines in the entry summary to process and generate the appropriate validation errors.

• CES-5551: LPC Validations - for PRMT_CD = 05, an LPC code should only be required for certain countries.
LPC Code 05 validation should only be required for certain countries (ARGENTINA (AR), AUSTRALIA (AU), NEW ZEALAND (NZ), URUGUAY (UY)). Right now an LPC code is being required for all countries.

• CES-4666: Exempt / Disallow Cotton Fee on an Informal Line.
Error 679-FEE NOT ALLOWED - ENTRY TYPE will be generated on an Informal line (ES Entry Type Code '11' or '12' (Informal)) when a Cotton fee submitted. Error 657-FEE REQUIRED FOR ARTICLE will NOT be generated on an Informal line (ES Entry Type Code '11' or '12' (Informal)) even though it is required for the HTS number; i.e., the line is unconditionally accepted without the Cotton fee.
