Effective immediately the Automated Commercial System (ACS) B35 Unresolved Entry Report is no longer utilized to reconcile unresolved entries. In its place the CR-007 Cargo Release Entry Status report has been deployed to the Cargo Release workspace in ACE Reports. This report lists cargo entries that have been filed, but not released and/or cancelled. The report sorts the entries by the number of days since the entry was filed and provides an “entry status” for each entry.

The CR-007 report can be manipulated to provide an assortment of cargo related data depending on the parameters selected by the user. The report provides the following information:
• Provides the status of all open/unresolved entries in all modes of transport for a specific port/location and time frame.
• Provides guidance on actions that may be required and/or utilized to resolve the entry and move it to a released status when appropriate.
• Unlike the former B35 Report, entries that are in “Pending” status in the Ocean, Air, and Rail environments, will “drop” off the report after 30 days automatically, reducing the reconciliation time expended to process cancellation requests from filers. Truck entries that are in Pending status will not drop off the report, regardless of the entry status and/or the number of days unresolved. All truck entries will need to be reconciled accordingly.

The CR-007 Cargo Release Entry Status Report should be generated weekly, as was past practice with the B35. Reconciliation of each entry should be completed within sixty days, however, entries that are identified on the report as “Document Required” and/or “Intensive status” may indicate that the cargo is in port being held pending receipt of a document and/or reconciliation of an “Intensive” examination requirement. Those entries should be reconciled as expeditiously as possible.
