New TSN Account Management Requirement Recommendation
CBP has posted the following new ACE account management requirement recommendation as of May 11, 2004:
Broker Account Portal Functionality for Importer Proxy (dated 04/26/04). According to this recommendation, the customs broker account portal must include discreet functionality that fully enables access, set-up, maintenance, management of importer accounts with the exact same window, perspective, navigational, maintenance, management and report capabilities as if operating directly through the importer account portal. This access, functionality, and view must be available within the broker account portal, without a need to logoff and logon to the importer's account portal, and without the need for multiple user names and passwords.
(The recommendation notes that for purposes of this requirement, this in-broker portal functionality will only be available to the broker account if the importer account owner has designated the broker as a "proxy owner" of his account.)
