SINCE, DECEMBER 15, 1992, THE U.S. CUSTOMS SERVICE HAS BEEN RECEIVING
ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSIONS OF 1992 VISA INFORMATION FROM SINGAPORE FOR
MERCHANDISE EXPORTED ON OR AFTER DECEMBER 15, 1992.
ALSO ON DECEMBER 15, 1992, ACS PREMATURELY BEGAN TO PERFORM VISA
VERIFICATION DURING QUOTA PROCESSING OF SINGAPORE VISAED ENTRY SUMMARIES.
THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED AT ABOUT 1330 HOURS ON DECEMBER 23, 1992.
HOWEVER, DURING THAT PERIOD IT WAS OBSERVED THAT MANY MANUFACTURER
IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (MID) WERE NOT BEING REPORTED CORRECTLY. IT IS
SUGGESTED THAT ALL FILERS REFER TO ITEM NUMBER "2" OF THE "VBT-92-52
ELECTRONIC VISA INFORMATION SYSTEM (ELVIS) IMPLEMENTATION INSTRUCTIONS
FOR SINGPORE." FILERS SHOULD BE REPORTING THE MID NUMBER AS FOUND IN
BLOCK 24 (MID NO.) ON SINGAPORE'S VISAED COMMERCIAL INVOICE. IT IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT THE MID NUMBER BE REPORTED CORRECTLY. IF
INCORRECTLY REPORTED, RELEASE OF MERCHANDISE WILL BE DENIED.
ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS MATTER SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO YOUR
CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE.
