July 28, 2016 |Customs

CBP is working toward contracting with private collections agencies to retrieve uncollected antidumping/countervailing duties, Eugene Schied, acting executive assistant commissioner for Enterprise Services, said during the July 27 Commercial Customs Operations Advisory Committee (COAC) meeting in Boston. "We've got the authority to start to work with private collections agencies, so we're going to take a crack at that," he said. The agency is going through a procurement process with multiple vendors "just to make sure what we can do to collect that outstanding revenue," he said. Schied, previously assistant commissioner in the Office of Administration, was recently elevated to lead Enterprise Services "with the formal creation of this organization on June 15," according to his CBP bio (here).

CBP will stop accepting protests filed through the Automated Broker Interface (ABI) to the Automated Commercial System (ACS) next month, the agency said in a notice (here). CBP previously said it would require electronic protests to be filed through the ACE protest module as of Aug. 27 (see 1607070032). "The ACE Protest Module is an internet-based processing module which allows a filer to submit an electronic protest to ACE for processing by CBP," it said.
