IT HAS COME TO THE ATTENTION OF THE REMOTE TEAM THAT THERE MAY BE
A CONFUSION AS TO THE RLF2 REQUIREMENT THAT: "PARTICIPANTS AND
REQUESTED CUSTOMS LOCATIONS MUST HAVE OPERATIONAL EXPERIENCE WITH
THE CUSTOMS ELECTRONIC INVOICE PROGRAM (EIP) WITH EITHER ABI/AII
OR EDIFACT."
THE LOCATION FROM WHICH A BROKER FILES DOES NOT NEED TO BE A PORT
TRAINED IN RLF PROCESSING PRIOR TO A SUCCESSFUL APPLICATION FOR
RLF2. ONLY THE PORT OF ARRIVAL AND REQUESTED DESIGNATED
EXAMINATION SITE NEED TRAINING BEFORE A REMOTE SCENARIO CAN BE
APPROVED AND OPERATIONAL.
