TO ALL ABI FILERS
ACS IS REJECTING ABI ENTRY SUMMARIES FOR MERCHANDISE SUBJECT TO
ANTI-DUMPING (AD) OR COUNTERVAILING (CVD) CASES FOR WHICH HTS NUMBERS
CHANGED EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1996. DUE TO THE FURLOUGH OF EMPLOYEES IN
THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, INTERNATIONAL TRADE ADMINISTRATION, THE
AD/CVD MODULE IN ACS HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT HTS CHANGES
EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1996. CUSTOMS DOES NOT HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO
UPDATE THIS DATA BASE. THEREFORE, ABI FILERS SHOULD FILE PAPER ENTRY
SUMMARIES FOR MERCHANDISE SUBJECT TO AD OR CVD CASES FOR WHICH HTS
NUMBERS CHANGED EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1996. IF THE TARIFF NUMBER FOR
THE MERCHANDISE DID NOT CHANGE, THE ENTRY SUMMARY MAY BE TRANSMITTED
VIA ABI.
UNDER THESE CIRCUMSATANCE, A NON-ABI SUMMARY SHOULD BE ACCEPTED FOR
RELEASES ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH ABI.
WE ARE WORKING ON A RESOLUTION OF THIS SITUATION AND WILL ADVISE
YOU AS SOON AS NORMAL ABI TRANSMISSION MAY RESUME.
