ACS Recon Summaries, Extension Request and CBP Control

Q: How to request an extension of liquidation for a reconciliation that has been filed?
A: The process is the same for all summaries submitted; filers may choose to submit an extension request via paper or electronic format, via Document Imaging System (DIS), the team's email inbox or other established procedure to their assigned Center.

Q: When is a Reconciliation Entry summary in CBP control?
A: The reconciliation entry summary moves to CBP status on “statement print date” if reconciliation entry summary is placed on statement;
Or, CBP places the reconciliation entry summary in CBP status when the reconciliation entry summary is transmitted as “single pay” with no monies owed and the batch job performed at end of day processing places the reconciliation entry summary in CBP status.

Q: How to complete a Reconciliation Entry summary originally submitted in ACS?
A: The Trade may retransmit via ABI the reconciliation entry summary in ACE and be subject to all the ACE validations.
Or, Trade may submit the amended/updated data in paper format without ANY retransmission in ABI.
• The paper change submission will be sent to the port that rejected the reconciliation entry summary.

For those reconciliation entry summaries that have a request to “withhold liquidation” in ACS, and where transmitted as a No-Change, are subject to a full retransmission in ACE.
