PROCEDURES.
THESE PROCEDURES WILL CONTINUE TO USE THE ELECTRONIC INVOICE
NOTIFICATION (EIN) EMAIL FORM WHICH IS COMPLETED BY THE ABI
CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE AT THE THREE CRITICAL TIMES IN BRINGING A
COMPANY TO EIP OPERATIONAL STATUS. THESE NOTIFICATIONS WILL NOW
BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE EIP DISTRICT/PORT COORDINATORS AND THE

EIP NOTIFICATION AND IMPLEMENTATION
THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED TO ENSURE A
UNIFORM METHOD OF NOTIFICATION AND PREPARATION BY A VARIETY OF
CUSTOMS OFFICES WHEN AN ELECTRONIC INVOICING PROGRAM (EIP)
CANDIDATE EXPRESSES INTEREST AND/OR PROGRESS.
ELECTRONIC INVOICE NOTIFICATION (EIN):
THE FIRST STEP INVOLVES THE ABI CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE (ABI CR)
WHO SUBMITS AN ELECTRONIC INVOICE NOTIFICATION (EIN) FORM THROUGH
EMAIL TO THE APPROPRIATE EIP COORDINATOR(S) (SEE ATTACHED EIP
COORDINATORS LIST) AND THE HEADQUARTERS TRADE SUPPORT EIP PROJECT
LEADER (HQTS-EIP PROJECT LEADER). THIS NOTIFICATION OCCURS AT
THREE CRITICAL TIMES IN BECOMING EIP OPERATIONAL.
FIRST - CANDIDATE EXPRESSES SERIOUS INTEREST IN EIP.
SECOND - CANDIDATE BEGINS THE TESTING PROCESS.
THIRD - ABI CR DETERMINES THAT THE PARTICIPANT HAS
COMPLETED ALL REQUIREMENTS NECESSARY FOR
OPERATIONAL STATUS AND LIVE DATA CAN BE
TRANSMITTED.
READINESS CHECKLIST:
BASED ON INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE EIN, THE EIP COORDINATOR
COMPLETES THE "READINESS CHECKLIST" WHICH WAS DEVELOPED TO ASSIST
IN SURVEYING THE READINESS OF THE FIELD LOCATION(S) FOR EIP
OPERATIONS. THIS CHECKLIST HELPS COORDINATORS TO IDENTIFY
POTENTIAL PROBLEM AREAS GIVING AN OPPORTUNITY TO RESOLVE ISSUES
BEFORE IMPLEMENTATION.
THE CHECKLIST IS COMPLETED BY THE EIP COORDINATOR WITH THE
ASSISTANCE OF MANY LOCAL EMPLOYEES, ABI CRS, AND THE
PARTICIPATING COMPANY, TO DETERMINE A LOCATION'S READINESS.
EXPERIENCED EIP LOCATIONS MAY ALSO BE CONTACTED FOR ASSISTANCE IN
DETERMINING READINESS (SEE ATTACHED EXPERIENCED EIP CONTACTS
LIST). THESE CONTACTS ARE ONLY USED FOR READINESS AND
IMPLEMENTATION ADVICE, NOT AS A RESOURCE FOR COMPLETING THE
CHECKLIST.
COMPLETION OF THIS CHECKLIST IS INITIATED UPON RECEIPT OF THE
FIRST EIN AND UPDATED AS THE SECOND AND THIRD EINS ARE RECEIVED.
THE EIP COORDINATORS ARE ALLOWED UP TO 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF
THE FIRST EIN AND AN ADDITIONAL 15 DAYS IF REQUESTED AND APPROVED
BY THE PORT DIRECTOR. ABI CRS ARE NOTIFIED BY THE EIP
COORDINATOR OF ANY EXTENSIONS. ABI CRS MAKE CLIENTS AWARE OF
THIS REVIEW PROCESS. ANY TIMELINESS ISSUES SHOULD BE ADDRESSED
TO THE PORT DIRECTOR BY THE ABI CRS OR COMPANY.

EIP OPERATIONS AT THE PORT (E.G., QUOTA SHIPMENTS ARE
NOT YET ELIGIBLE FOR EIP),
B) THE READINESS OF THE PORT TO BRING THE COMPANY TO
OPERATIONS (E.G., ADDITIONAL PCS OR TRAINING REQUIRED),
AND
C) ANY SPECIAL PROCEDURES THAT MAY BE NEEDED BEFORE
IMPLEMENTATION (E.G., BLANKET CERTIFICATIONS FOR U.S.
GOODS MAY BE REQUIRED).
A FOLLOW UP TELEPHONE OR MEETING IS SCHEDULED BY THE EIP
COORDINATOR WITH THE ABI CR AND/OR COMPANY TO EXPLAIN ANY
SPECIAL PROCEDURES OR INFORMATION NEEDS. THESE REQUIREMENTS

ELECTRONIC INVOICING PROGRAM BRIEFING
AT THIS TIME, THE EIP PROGRAM IS LIMITED TO ENTRY SUMMARIES WITH:
O ABI DAILY STATEMENT PAYMENT,
O ELECTRONIC INVOICE CAPABLE FILER,
O PAPERLESS SUMMARY CERTIFICATION TRANSMITTED BY FILER,
O ENTRY TYPE 01 OR 11,
O AND HAS A CONTINUOUS BOND ON FILE.
LOCATIONS INVOLVEMENT IN IMPLEMENTATION
THE "READINESS CHECKLIST" WAS DEVELOPED TO BE SURE THAT THE
LOCATION, WHERE EIP IS TO BE IMPLEMENTED FOR THE FIRST TIME OR
EXPANDED WITH PARTICIPATION OF A NEW COMPANY, IS INVOLVED IN
EVERY STEP. THE DISTRICT IS IN THE BEST POSITION TO DETERMINE
ITS OWN READINESS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A NEW EIP IMPORTER
WHETHER THEY FILE ON THEIR OWN BEHALF OR WITH A BROKER. THIS IS
VERY IMPORTANT TO ALLOW DISTRICTS REVIEW TIME TO ENSURE SMOOTH
IMPLEMENTATION FOR ALL PARTIES. PARTICIPANTS ARE MADE AWARE OF
THIS PROCESS.
MANAGEMENT BRIEFINGS AND TRAINING
EIP COORDINATORS PROVIDE A BRIEFING FOR AFFECTED EMPLOYEES BEFORE
TRAINING COMMENCES. ALL IMPACTED EMPLOYEES RECEIVE APPROPRIATE
ELECTRONIC INVOICE REVIEW AND PROCESSING TRAINING. THIS TRAINING
IS CONDUCTED BY HEADQUARTERS FOR THE FIRST IMPLEMENTATION.
EXPANSION TRAINING IS COMPLETED OR COORDINATED BY EIP
COORDINATORS AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL.
REVIEW AND PROCESSING AN ELECTRONIC ENTRY OR ENTRY SUMMARY
CUSTOMS RECEIVES ELECTRONIC INVOICE DATA THROUGH ABI/AII OR
EDIFACT FULL ENTRY SUMMARY INFORMATION FOR RELEASE AND ENTRY
SUMMARY PROCESSING.
THE CAPABILITY TO REVIEW ELECTRONIC ENTRIES FOR RELEASE THROUGH
THE AII ENTRY NOTIFICATION SCREEN (AIIL) HAS BEEN PROGRAMMED INTO
THE CARGO SELECTIVITY MODULE OF ACS. INSPECTION AND CONTROL WILL
USE THIS SCREEN TO BEGIN PROCESSING ENTRIES WHERE NO PAPER
DOCUMENTS ARE TO BE PRESENTED TO CUSTOMS FOR ON-LINE PROCESSING.
THE ENTRY SUMMARY INBOX WAS DESIGNED TO ALLOW FOR COMMERCIAL
OPERATIONS PERSONNEL TO REVIEW, PROCESS, AND RESEARCH TEAM REVIEW
EIP PAPERLESS ENTRY SUMMARIES AND LINES. EIP ENTRY SUMMARIES ARE
COMPLETE ELECTRONIC SUMMARY PACKAGES WHICH INCLUDE CF7501,
CF3461, INVOICE AND SOMETIMES PACKING LIST INFORMATION.
IN ADDITION, WHERE OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY DOCUMENTS AND/OR
INFORMATION IS REQUIRED, THE OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY INTERFACE
MUST BE FULLY OPERATIONAL. IF AN INTERFACE IS NOT AVAILABLE, IT
IS THE FILER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE OGA REQUIREMENTS ARE MET.
-9-
THE IMPACT OF EIP ON SPECIFIC FIELD OPERATION'S POSITIONS IS
SUMMARIZED AS FOLLOWS.
INSPECTORS:
AN INSPECTOR ASSIGNED TO CARGO SELECTIVITY REVIEW WILL BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR CHECKING THE ELECTRONIC ENTRY LOCATE FUNCTION
(AIIL) AT LEAST ONCE EVERY TWO (2) HOURS DURING NORMAL DUTY HOURS
TO SEE IF ANY ELECTRONIC ENTRIES WERE TRANSMITTED FOR THE
DISTRICT/PORT. THE TIME PERIOD WILL VARY WITH VOLUME. TO
COMPLETE PROCESSING, NORMAL ON-LINE PROCESSING IS PERFORMED WITH
REVIEW OF THE ELECTRONIC INVOICE.
ENTRY AND LIQUIDATION BRANCH PERSONNEL:
TEAM REVIEW EIP ENTRY SUMMARIES ARE INDICATED WITH "PA" ON THE
FINAL DAILY STATEMENT REPORT. THOSE SUMMARIES REQUIRING TEAM
REVIEW WILL ELECTRONICALLY POST TO THE INBOX AND BE ASSIGNED TO
THE RESPONSIBLE COMMODITY AND/OR ENTRY SPECIALIST TEAM(S).
REVIEW AND PROCESSING OF LINES AND SUMMARIES ARE COMPLETED
THROUGH THE INBOX BY THE COMMODITY AND/OR ENTRY SPECIALIST
TEAM(S).
ENTRY BRANCH PERSONNEL WILL PROCESS CHANGE LIQUIDATIONS,
RELIQUIDATIONS, OR PROTEST RELIQUIDATIONS FROM A RECONSTRUCTED
ENTRY SUMMARY PACKAGES PRODUCED FROM ACS SUMMARY DATA SCREENS BY
ENTRY OR COMMODITY TEAMS.
ANY ACTION THAT RESULTS IN A RETRANSMISSION OF ABI DATA (E.G.
REJECTS) WILL REQUIRE A PAPER ENTRY SUMMARY SUBMISSION. THE
SUMMARY WILL THEN BE PROCESSED IN ACCORDANCE WITH CURRENT "PAPER"
PROCEDURES.
IMPORT SPECIALIST AND ENTRY SPECIALIST TEAMS:
BOTH IMPORT AND ENTRY SPECIALISTS WILL BEGIN THE PROCESSING OF
ELECTRONIC INVOICE TEAM REVIEW SUMMARIES BY VIEWING THE INBOX.
ONCE IDENTIFYING THE SUMMARIES AND/OR LINES THAT MUST BE
REVIEWED, THE SPECIALIST WILL REVIEW ACS SCREENS THAT PROVIDE
SELECTIVITY RESULTS, CF7501, AND INVOICE DATA. PROCESSING THESE
SUMMARIES FOR REJECTS, HOLDING CODE ASSIGNMENT, DISCREPANT
FINDING INPUT, TEAM TRANSFER OF REVIEW LINES, AND NO CHANGE
LIQUIDATION WILL BE PERFORMED THROUGH THE INBOX.
CURRENTLY, CHANGE LIQUIDATIONS WILL BE INDICATED ON A
RECONSTRUCTED SUMMARY PACKAGE (PRODUCED FROM ACS SUMMARY DATA
SCREENS) BY THE ENTRY OR COMMODITY TEAM AND FORWARDED TO THE
ENTRY OR LIQUIDATION BRANCH. REJECTIONS TO THE FILER THROUGH THE
INBOX CURRENTLY REQUIRES A PAPER SUBMISSION BY THE FILER AND
PAPER PROCESSING BY CUSTOMS.
OTHER OFFICES:
FOR ELECTRONIC INVOICE SUMMARIES, THE RESEARCH AND PROCESSING
REQUIRED FOR THESE OFFICES WILL INVOLVE THE ON-LINE REVIEW OF ALL
REQUIRED ENTRY SUMMARY DATA ON ACS SCREENS. IF OTHER
DOCUMENTATION IS NECESSARY, REQUESTS FOR PAPER DOCUMENT
SUBMISSION MAY BE REQUESTED OF THE FILER. ANY RECONSTRUCTED
ENTRY SUMMARIES WILL BE DONE FROM ACS ENTRY SUMMARY DATA SCREENS.
