ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE 99-0077, DATED FEBRUARY 2, 1999, ADVISED THAT THE
NEW 'RA' RECONCILIATION SUMMARY TRANSACTION IS AVAILABLE FOR TESTING BY
ABI FILERS AND SOFTWARE VENDORS. SINCE THAT TIME, MANY FILERS/AND VENDORS
HAVE TESTED OR ARE CONTINUING TO TEST. THIS OFFICE RECEIVES SEVERAL CALLS
WEEKLY REGARDING PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN CREATING AND USING TEST DATA
UNDER THE '8888' TEST PORT.
TO ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE CONFUSION, AND TO HELP EXPEDITE YOUR TESTING
EFFORTS, WE HAVE CREATED SOME TESTING TIPS AND THESE ARE NOW AVAILABLE VIA
THE CUSTOMS WEBSITE (WWW.CUSTOMS.TREAS.GOV). THEY MAY BE FOUND BY
CLICKING ON "IMPORTING & EXPORTING", THEN CLICKING ON "COMMERCIAL
IMPORTING PROCEDURES", THEN CLICKING ON "RECONCILIATION", AND FINALLY ON
"TECHNICAL INFORMATION".
IN ADDITION TO PLACING THESE TIPS ON THE WEBSITE, WE HAVE ALSO PLACED
THEM ON THE CEBB (CUSTOMS ELECTRONIC BULLETIN BOARD). THE CEBB MAY ALSO
BE ACCESSED FROM THE WEBSITE BY GOING TO "APPS" AT THE TOP OF THE HOME
PAGE AND THEN TO CEBB. ON THE BULLETIN BOARD, GO TO ITEM "FILES" AND
THEN ITEM 13 (TRADE OPERATIONS INSTRUCTIONS). SEARCH ON "RECON". THE
TIPS ARE FOUND IN FILE T-RECON8.TXT. IT IS IN A TEXT FORMAT.
QUESTIONS MAY BE DIRECTED TO YOUR CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE.
