CARGO SELECTIVITY PROCESSING HAS INITIATED THE USE OF LINE VALUE
AS A DATA ELEMENT TO EXCLUDE CERTAIN TARIFF LINES WITH VALUES
BELOW PARTICULAR THRESHOLDS FROM ACCESSING CRITERIA. THIS
INITIATIVE IS INTENDED TO BYPASS LOW VALUE LINES AND PRECLUDE
ENTRIES FROM FAILING PAPERLESS DUE TO SUCH HITS. OVER 50% OF ALL
NON BORDER ABI CARGO RELEASES ARE CERTIFIED FROM SUMMARY VIA EI
AND THEREFORE HAVE ASSOCIATED LINE VALUE. ADDITIONAL FILERS WHO
WISH TO BENEFIT BY THIS INITIATIVE AND HAVE THE NECESSARY
INFORMATION TO TRANSMIT SUMMARY DATA PRIOR TO CARGO RELEASE
SHOULD CERTIFY CARGO RELEASES USING THE EI SUMMARY CAPABILITY.
FOR EFFICIENCY OF PROCESSING CUSTOMS ENCOURAGES CARGO RELEASES
CERTIFIED FROM (EI) SUMMARY, BUT FILERS WHO HAVE THE CAPABILITY
TO TRANSMIT LINE VALUE USING HI OR HN CAN USE THOSE APPLICATIONS.
EVEN THOUGH PAPERLESS RELEASE IS PRECLUDED FOR DIRECT ARRIVAL
BORDER CARGO, LINE VALUE MAY PREVENT UNNECESSARY CRITERIA HITS
AND EXPEDITE THE MOVEMENT OF CARGO. IT IS OUR INTENT TO
FACILITATE CARGO PROCESSING BY NOT GENERATING UNNECESSARY 'ENTRY
DOCUMENTS REQUIRED MESSAGES' OR 'INTENSIVE EXAMS' AND PROVIDING
ADDITIONAL PAPERLESS RELEASES TO THE TRADE COMMUNITY.
