THE U.S. CUSTOMS SERVICE IS INITIATING A NEW IN-BOND SYSTEM, IN SEVERAL
PHASES, COMMENCING JULY 19, 1993.
BY EARLY AUGUST, ABI FILERS WILL BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE NEW IN-BOND
SYSTEM. IF THE IMPORTING CARRIER PARTICIPATES IN SEA AMS, THE ABI FILER
WILL ONLY NEED TO INITIATE AND UPDATE (ARRIVE/EXPORT) THE IN-BOND MOVE-
MENT. IF THE IMPORTING CARRIER IS NOT A PARTICIPANT IN SEA AMS, THE ABI
FILER WILL HAVE TO FURNISH FULL BILL OF LADING INFORMATION, IN ADDI-
TION TO THE INITIATION AND UPDATE (ARRIVAL/EXPORTATION) OF THE IN-BOND.
AIR IMPORTATIONS, MOT 40, ARE NOT CURRENTLY PART OF THIS PROGRAM. PLEASE
DO NOT TRANSMIT IN-BONDS INVOLVING AIR WAYBILLS, AS THIS WILL RESULT IN
SYSTEM REJECTS.
DUE TO THE NUMBER OF NEW RECORD LAYOUTS, IT WILL BE NECESSARY TO HAVE THE
INFORMATION PRINTED AND MAILED RATHER THAN PROVIDING IT TO YOU VIA AN
ADMIN MESSAGE. THE MAILING IS EXPECTED TO TAKE PLACE THE WEEK OF JULY 6,
1993.
AS MORE INFORMATION BECOMES AVAILABLE, WE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH UPDATES.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE.
