CBP Details Sept. 16 Deployments of ISF, Shifts December Deployment Date
CBP posted on the agency's website some details about the coming deployments of new ACE capabilities scheduled for Sept. 16. The agency will deploy "Non-ABI Entry Summary/Lineless (for CBP only), Duty Deferral, e214, Manufacturer ID Creation and Importer Security Filing (ISF)," it said. After the deployment, "these capabilities will no longer be filed/processed in the Automated Commercial System (ACS) and must be done via ACE," it said. CBP also said in a CSMS message that the deployment of statements in ACE, planned for Dec. 16, would now take place on Dec. 9. That change is meant to "better align with the Periodic Monthly Statement schedule" and doesn't impact the schedule for any other deployments, said CBP.

CBP announced plans for phasing in the post-release capabilities in ACE in July (see 1707270038) and said last week it would also transition ISF to ACE on Sept. 16 (see 1708160030). For ISF, "filers should ensure their software is up to date and able to transmit to CBP," CBP said. "The ACE Portal will remain available for ISF submissions from small volume filers (less than 12 a year), and for ocean manifest filers through existing manifest technical standards.There are minor software coding changes required for ISF ABI transmissions, and vendors or self-filers should be aware of the revised transmissions standards." CBP will give updates "prior to the deployment with information on a cutover timeline for the migration of data and submissions to ACE."
