ABI REVISED SPECIFICATION FOR ENTRY SUMMARY/RECONCILIATION
THIS IS TO ADVISE YOU THAT EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 1998 FILERS WILL BE
ABLE TO USE THE ABI 'EI' ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSACTION TO "FLAG" ENTRY
SUMMARIES FOR RECONCILIATION PURPOSES IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL
REGISTER NOTICE 63FR6257 DATED FEBRUARY 6, 1998. THE ABI RECORD
SPECIFICATION IS AVAILABLE ON THE CUSTOMS ELECTRONIC BULLETIN BOARD
(CEBB) WHICH MAY BE ACCESSED AT 703-921-6155 OR MAY BE LOCATED VIA
THE INTERNET AT THE U.S. CUSTOMS WEBSITE. THE INTERNET ADDRESS FOR
THE CUSTOMS WEBSITE IS WWW.CUSTOMS.USTREAS.GOV. FROM THERE, YOU MAY
ACCESS THE CEBB BY CLICKING THE CEBB BUTTON ON THE PAGE. THE
SPECIFICATION IS ON THE CEBB UNDER 'TRADE OPERATIONS INSTRUCTIONS' AND
THE FILE NAME FOR THE SPECIFICATION IS RCNADM.TXT.
THE SPECIFICATION CALLS FOR THE USE OF THE CURRENT '20' RECORD FOR THE
ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSACTION, SPECIFICALLY POSITIONS 76-80, FOR ADVISING
CUSTOMS OF THE INTENT TO FILE A RECONCILIATION SUMMARY FOR THE ENTRY
IN QUESTION ("FLAGGING" THE ENTRY FOR RECONCILIATION). THE
SPECIFICATION ALSO PROVIDES INFORMATION ON THE BLANKET "FLAGGING" OF
IMPORT ENTRIES FOR RECONCILIATION.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT THIS "FLAG" CAPABILITY WILL ONLY APPLY TO
TYPE '01' AND '02' ENTRIES, AND TYPE '06' ENTRIES THAT DO NOT INVOLVE
ANTIDUMPING OR COUNTERVAILING DUTY. IT WILL NOT APPLY TO TYPE '03' AND
'07' ENTRIES AS ORIGINALLY ANTICIPATED. THIS IS A CHANGE TO THE ABOVE
FEDERAL REGISTER NOTICE THAT DID HAVE ENTRY TYPES '03' AND '07'
INCLUDED. TO REPEAT, ENTRY TYPES '03' AND '07' ARE NOT INCLUDED IN
THE RECONCILIATION PROJECT AT THIS TIME, AND A NEW FEDERAL REGISTER
NOTICE IS BEING DRAFTED TO THAT EFFECT.
IF THERE ARE ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT ME AT 703-921-7128,
OR CONTACT YOUR CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE.
