SUBJECT : ABI ENTRY SUMMARY QUERY CHANGE FOR DRAWBACK
DATE : 01/31/96
IN MID TO LATE APRIL 15, 1996, A CHANGE TO THE ENTRY SUMMARY QUERY
(THE ABI 'JI' APPLICATION) WILL GO INTO PRODUCTION. THIS CHANGE
IS BEING MADE AT THE REQUEST OF THE TRADE TO PERMIT THE RETURN OF
ACCELERATED DRAWBACK INFORMATION ON QUERIED DRAWBACK ENTRIES
(ENTRY TYPES 41 THRU 46). THIS CHANGE AFFECTS ONLY POSITION 78
OF THE 'J1' OUTPUT RECORD, AS FOLLOWS:
POSITION 78 OF THE 'J1' OUTPUT RECORD IS BEING REDEFINED FROM
'FILLER' TO 'ACCELERATED DRAWBACK INDICATOR' AND WILL BE 1 AN
POSITION. RETURN IN THIS FIELD WILL BE CONDITIONAL BY THE ENTRY
TYPE OF THE ENTRY SUMMARY BEING QUERIED. IF THE ENTRY SUMMARY
ENTRY TYPE IS OTHER THAN '41', '42', '43', '44', '45', OR '46', A
SPACE WILL BE RETURNED IN POSITION 78 OF THE 'J1' OUTPUT RECORD.
IF THE ENTRY SUMMARY ENTRY TYPE IS '41', '42', '43', '44', '45',
OR '46', ONE OF THE FOLLOWING THREE INDICATORS ('1', '2', OR '3')
WILL BE RETURNED IN POSITION 78 OF THE 'J1' OUTPUT RECORD:
'1' = 'ACCELERATED DRAWBACK APPROVED AND PAID'
'2' = 'ACCELERATED DRAWBACK APPROVED BUT NOT YET PAID'
'3' = 'ACCELERATED DRAWBACK NOT CLAIMED/NOT APPROVED' (THIS MEANS
THAT EITHER ACCELERATED DRAWBACK WAS NOT CLAIMED AT
ALL, OR WAS CLAIMED BUT DISAPPROVED)
ADDITIONALLY, WE ARE WORKING ON COMPLETING THE NATIONAL DRAWBACK
QUERY (NDQ) CAPABILITY FOR THE ENTRY SUMMARY QUERY. THIS
CAPABILITY WILL PERMIT AN IMPORTER TO AUTHORIZE A DRAWBACK FILER
(S) OTHER THAN THE FILER WHO SUBMITTED THE ORIGINAL IMPORT ENTRY
TO QUERY THE ENTRY SUMMARY. THIS IS OFTEN REQUIRED FOR DRAWBACKS
INVOLVING THIRD PARTIES. THE IMPORTER WOULD SUBMIT A 'HOLD
HARMLESS' AGREEMENT LETTER TO CUSTOMS MAKING SUCH AUTHORIZATION,
SIMILAR TO THE CURRENT NILS PROCESS FOR ABI. HOWEVER, THE NDQ
CAPABILITY WILL PERMIT AN IMPORTER TO AUTHORIZE MORE THAN ONE
DRAWBACK FILER TO QUERY ENTRY INFORMATION IF DESIRED, DEPENDING
ON BUSINESS NEEDS. WE ANTICIPATE HAVING THIS CAPABILITY READY IN
APRIL. THIS CAPABILITY INVOLVES NO PROGRAMMING CHANGES FOR THE
TRADE. IT SIMPLY PROVIDES ADDITIONAL DATA ACCESS VIA THE CURRENT
ENTRY SUMMARY QUERY.
QUESTIONS REGARDING THE NEW ACCELERATED DRAWBACK INDICATOR OR THE
NDQ CAPABILITY MAY BE DIRECTED TO MYSELF AT (202) 927-0299. WE
WILL ADVISE BEFOREHAND AS TO THE EXACT DATE WHEN THESE CHANGES
WILL BE AVAILABLE.
