SUBJECT: MISSING PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS- OCT 15, 1998
ON OCT 15, 1998, APPROXIMATELY 212 PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS, ALL WITH
PORT OF PROCESSING 2720 (LOS ANGELES INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT) DID NOT
GENERATE. THESE STATEMENTS ENCOMPASS 2,208 ENTRY SUMMARIES FOR 69
DIFFERENT FILERS.
THE MISSING STATEMENTS ARE FOR BROKERS OR IMPORTERS WITH FILER CODES
STARTING WITH 110 AND ENDING WITH 946, INCLUSIVE.
IF YOUR COMPANY'S FILER CODE IS IN THIS INCLUSIVE RANGE, YOU DID NOT
RECEIVE YOUR PRELIMINARY STATEMENT(S) FOR OCTOBER 15.
AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM, THE LOS ANGELES AIRPORT CUSTOMS' OFFICE
IS GRANTING A SNOW DAY FOR THOSE STATEMENTS. SIMULTANEOUSLY, CUSTOMS
HQ IS ATTEMPTING TO REGENERATE THE STATEMENTS FOR THAT DATE.
CUSTOMS HAS DETERMINED THAT THE AFFECTED ENTRIES ON THE MISSING
STATEMENTS CANNOT BE PAID BY SINGLE CHECK NOR CAN THEY BE MOVED TO
A DIFFERENT PAY DUE DATE. FILERS SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE
STATEMENT UPDATE FUNCTION TO EITHER REMOVE AFFECTED ENTRIES FROM
THE OCT 15 STATEMENT OR RESCHEDULE THEM FOR A NEW PAYMENT DUE DATE.
WHEN THERE IS MORE INFORMATION ON THE STATUS OF RESTORING THE
MISSING STATEMENTS, ANOTHER ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE WILL BE ISSUED.
*NOTE* - CUSTOMS CANNOT PROCESS INDIVIDUAL ENTRIES WITH CHECKS IF
THE ENTRY IS ONE OF THOSE LISTED ON THE AFFECTED STATEMENTS. DO
NOT SUBMIT ENTRIES WITH CHECKS TO THE LAX ENTRY TEAMS.
CUSTOMS' APOLOGIZES FOR THE INCONVENIENCE THIS PROBLEM HAS CAUSED.
QUESTIONS MAY BE DIRECTED TO THE APPROPRIATE LAX ENTRY TEAM OR TO
THE TERMINAL ISLAND ABI OFFICE.
