Sandler, Travis & Rosenberg Trade Report Apr 05, 2016

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has provided additional details on its modified schedule for completing the transition from the Automated Commercial System to the Automated Commercial Environment. Regardless of the mandatory dates listed below, CBP states that filers should be filing all available electronic entries and entry summaries, with or without participating government agency data, in ACE now.

March 31. Effective March 31, ACE will be the sole electronic data interchange system authorized by CBP for processing the following.

• electronic entry summaries associated with the following entry types without participating government agency data: 01 (consumption), 03 (consumption – antidumping/countervailing duty), 11 (informal), 23 (temporary importation under bond), 51 (Defense Contract Administration Service Region) and 52 (government – dutiable)

(According to CBP, this means that regardless of whether or not the underlying entry requires the submission of PGA data, the entry summary portion is required to be filed in ACE. Methods to file these transactions in ACE on March 31 include ACE entry/cargo release followed by ACE entry summary (two-step process), ACS entry (release) followed by ACE entry summary (two-step process), ACE entry summary certified for ACE entry/cargo release, and ACE entry summary certified for ACS entry (release).)

• electronic entries and/or corresponding entry summaries associated with the above entry types with Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (for Lacey Act transactions) or National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data, unless paired with other PGA data on the same transaction
