TIB FILING PROCEDURES
THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES WILL EXPEDITE THE APPROVAL,
EXTENSION, AND CLOSING OF TIBS FILED BY CUSTOMS BROKERS:
1. ABOUT 5 DAYS AFTER TIB SUBMISSION, QUERY THE ENTRY IN ABI TO
DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS APPROVED BY CUSTOMS. THE "OPEN
TIB" MESSAGE IS YOUR VERIFICATION THAT THE ENTRY WAS CERTIFIED AS
A TIB FILED IN PHILADELPHIA.
2. IF YOU DECIDE TO EXTEND THE TIB AT THE TIME OF BOND
EXPIRATION, WE RECOMMEND EXTENDING THE BOND THROUGH ABI. ABI
BROKERS NOW HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO PERFORM THIS FUNCTION.
CONSULT YOUR SOFTWARE VENDOR OR ABI CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE FOR
ASSISTANCE ON THIS PROCEDURE.
3. AFTER PRESENTING THE CLOSING DOCUMENTATION TO CUSTOMS, QUERY
THE ENTRY IN ABI FOR THE "CLOSED TIB" MESSAGE. THIS MESSAGE IS
YOUR CONFIRMATION THAT THE TIB ENTRY WAS CLOSED.
THE ABOVE MENTIONED STEPS WILL ELIMINATE THE STAMPING,
COPYING, SIGNING, AND DISTRIBUTION OF TIB ENTRIES AND
DOCUMENTATION. NOW ABI WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH THE STATUS OF THE
TIB ENTRY--OPEN, EXTENDED, OR CLOSED.
