CURRENTLY THE U.S. CUSTOMS SERVICE SUPPORTS VERSION 91.2 OF THE
UN/EDIFACT CUSDEC AND CUSRES MESSAGES. WE ARE NOW PLANNING TO BEGIN
CUSDEC/CUSRES MESSAGE DEVELOPMENT FROM THE MOST CURRENT UN/EDIFACT
DIRECTORY. THIS WILL ENABLE US TO EXPAND OUR UN/EDIFACT SUPPORT TO COVER
A WIDER RANGE OF CUSTOMS FUNCTIONS WHICH ARE CURRENTLY ONLY AVAILABLE
USING THE ABI PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE.
EVEN WITH THE MIGRATION TO A MORE CURRENT VERSION OF THE CUSDEC
MESSAGE, CUSTOMS WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT VERSION 91.2. HOWEVER, WE
SUGGEST THAT ANYONE PLANNING DEVELOPMENT IN THE UN/EDIFACT AREA IN THE
NEAR FUTURE MAY WANT TO POSTPONE DEVELOPMENT IN VERSION 91.2 AND
CONCENTRATE THEIR DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS IN THE MORE CURRENT VERSION WHICH
IS DERIVED FROM THE 94 DIRECTORIES.
WE WILL ADVISE YOU AS SOON AS A PRODUCTION DATE IS AVAILABLE. ANY
QUESTIONS MAY BE DIRECTED TO DIANE WATHEN, COMMERCIAL SYSTEMS DEVELOPENT
DIVISION AT (202) 927-1220 OR SUSAN MASKELL, TRADE INTERFACE SUPPORT
DIVISION AT (202) 927-1160.
