CBP Asks Trade to Not Run ACE Courtesy Liq Report, Hampering Data Load
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has issued CSMS #11-000221 stating that CBP has not completed the deployment process for the AM 100 Courtesy Notice Liquidation Report. CBP is asking both the field and the trade to refrain from running the report or pulling any ad hoc data from the new liquidation tables until they have received an update that the deployment is complete. The hits on the tables by users are impacting the initial data load into the reports tables.

(CBP has discontinued paper courtesy notices of liquidation for importers of record whose entry summaries are filed in ABI, effective for summaries scheduled for liquidation after September 30.
CBP detailed the options for obtaining this courtesy information for ABI filers, including the option of a new ACE Portal liquidation report for importers (AM 100, Courtesy Notice of Liquidation) that it states will contain the same data elements as the paper courtesy notice, except that the following data elements will not appear: 1) importer address; 2) series; 3) refer inquiries to; and 4) liquidation code. The "refer inquiries to" data element will not appear in the ACE Portal courtesy notice liquidation report; however, the report will provide the name and code for the port of entry. Importers can refer any inquiries to the appropriate port of entry here.
In its August 2011 Trade Account Owner (TAO) Update, CBP stated that the new ACE Portal Courtesy Notice of Liquidation report will not reflect Liquidation Extensions and Suspension statuses. Such information will continue to be printed and mailed to the appropriate parties.
In addition to the new ACE Portal Courtesy Notice of Liquidation report, CBP has stated that users will be able to customize existing reports to include data objects available in the new report, which will be located in the Account Manager/Detail Reports/Entry Summary folder.
