The implementation date was listed as "To Be Determined" in the June schedule.
July's schedule also provides a new implementation deadline for an enhancement that would prevent drawback claims on ineligible duties associated with Chapter 99 numbers of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. CBP issued a first release of this enhancement on July 15, and a second release is slated for Sept. 16. This enhancement had no implementation dates connected to it in the June schedule.
Other updates to the July schedule are changes to the target implementation month for several enhancements.
Phase 1 of a plan to update the ACE portal to enable electronic refunds will take place in September instead of August, while Phase 2 of this enhancement has been pushed back to January 2026 from November.
An enhancement that would enable export manifest filers to utilize the standard X12 or EDIFACT message sets currently used to submit import truck manifest information also was pushed back, from December 2025 to June 2026.
