ON OCTOBER 2, 1996, THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ABI INTERFACE
BECAME MANDATORY FOR RELEASES MADE VIA ABI. THE DOT INTERFACE PERMITS
ABI FILERS TO PROVIDE DOT HS7 FORM INFORMATION ELECTRONICALLY ON
CUSTOMS RELEASES OF MERCHANDISE THAT IS REGULATED BY DOT. SINCE THE
DOT INTERFACE IS MANDATAORY FOR ABI ENTRIES, A PAPER COPY OF THE HS7
FORM IS NO LONGER REQUIRED. ANY LINE RELEASE ENTRY SUMMARIES WITH
MERCHANDISE THAT IS REGULATED BY DOT MUST ALSO CONTAIN THE HS7
INFORMATION WHEN FILERS TRANSMIT ABI ENTRY SUMMARIES.
NON-ABI ENTRIES STILL REQUIRE THE PAPER COPY OF THE HS7 FORM.
ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING DOT REGULATED MERCHANDISE MAY BE DIRECTED

MAY BE DIRECTED TO JOE PALMER AT 202 927 0173. ANY POLICY QUESTIONS
