CBP has published an updated DRAFT CATAIR Implementation Guide (IG) for the ACE ABI FQ message set, whose current Production specifications can be found at "Queries: Extract Reference File" under the ABI CATAIR "Chapters" tab located at https://www.cbp.gov/trade/ace/catair . The DRAFT message set update has been posted to CBP.gov under the ABI CATAIR "Chapters: Drafts for Future Capabilities" tab, at the link below:
https://www.cbp.gov/trade/ace/catair#field-content-tab-group-tab-3
as "Extract Reference".

FQ IG changes have been made to allow ACE to generate an error message in response to:
• Trade using an F106 record to query a carrier code that does not exist as active in the ACE system. A new F906 error record will return the error.
• Trade using an F112 record to query an import specialist team assignment. A new F912 error record will return a rejection error.

A minimum of two months will be provided to the Trade for programming these changes. Availability to test this in the ACE CERTIFICATION environment will be announced with a CSMS message update, anticipated for November.

Please be advised that this technical document is considered a DRAFT and is subject to revision before a final version is provided. Any decisions a reader makes based on this draft document are taken voluntarily and with the understanding that the draft may be revised.
