U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is pleased to announce the Drawback module now includes coding for the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act (TFTEA). The Drawback system is ready for CERTIFICATION testing in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). Drawback claims (both non TFTEA and TFTEA) may be submitted in CERTIFICATION through the use of the Automated Broker Interface (ABI) and the Trade Automated Interface Requirements (CATAIR).
Please see the details of the newly posted ACE Drawback Guidelines:
ACE Drawback CATAIR (Draft) – This chapter provides conventional trade interface information for the ACE-version of a Drawback Entry Summary filing.

Please be advised that this technical document is considered a DRAFT and is subject to revision before a final version is provided. Any actions a reader takes based on this draft document are taken voluntarily and with the understanding that the draft may be revised. For your information, subsequent revisions to this document will be controlled through the official CBP document amendment process.
The Drawback system is equipped to handle both non TFTEA Drawback and TFTEA Drawback claim submissions in CERTIFICATION at this time. But please note that TFTEA Drawback introduces a number of enhancements to Core Drawback and as such may require new data elements.
For a list of underlying import entries to use on the Drawback claim, CBP has generated a number of test entries and provided them to the Drawback Working Group. To get your list of available test entries, please contact Michael Cerny at mvcerny@sttas.com and Dave Corn at dcorn@dutydrawback.com.
For access to CERTIFICATION testing, please work with your Client Rep so that your profile is updated to test Drawback. If you have any questions or problems with submitting a Drawback claim to ACE, please send all questions and inquiries to our dedicated inbox DrawbackCertification@cbp.dhs.gov and we will work with you to resolve any outstanding issues.

As we approach the go-live date (February 24, 2018) for Drawback, we appreciate any and all feedback on the design of the system and look forward to working with you for a smooth transition to ACE.
