CBP released two Customs Bulletins (Vol. 50, No. 1 and 2), on Jan. 20. The agency didn't publish a Customs Bulletin on Jan. 13, so CBP combined two bulletins in the Jan. 20 release, it said. The bulletins contain the following ruling actions (here):
CBP is working on contingency plans for any disruptions that arise on its Feb. 28 mandatory use date for the Automated Commercial Environment, said Maria Luisa Boyce on Jan. 20 at a meeting of the Commerce Department’s Advisory Committee on Supply Chain Competitiveness. The agency has set up a call with the CBP Advisory Committee on Commercial Operations on Jan. 21 so the COAC can provide guidance on plans for several areas, she said. COAC stressed the importance of contingency plans for the ACE deadline at a meeting held earlier this month (see 1601140031).

CBP will "retire a significant number of infrequently used" Automated Commercial Environment reports, the agency said (here). CBP will remove the listed report categories (here) on Feb. 15 "as part of its effort to clean up ACE Reports and improve system usability," said CBP. Users can "maintain access to any of the reports scheduled for retirement ... by saving a copy of the report to either a 'Shared' or 'My Favorites' folders for future use," said CBP.
Entries and entry summaries filed on paper after Feb. 28 at the Los Angeles area ports will face delays, said Anne Maricich, acting director of field operations in L.A in a Jan. 15 public bulletin. As of Feb. 28, the Automated Commercial Environment will be available and electronic filing will be required in ACE, she said. The L.A. international airport, L.A./Long Beach Seaport and "outlying ports will give priority to processing all electronic entries and entry summaries," said Maricich. "Filers who submit paper entries will face delays in cargo processing, impacting the release of their shipments." Only 12 percent of "cargo" and 69 percent of entry summaries are being filed at the area's ports in ACE as of the end of 2015, said Maricich. Low levels of cargo release submissions is a source of some concern at CBP ahead of the ACE transition dates (see 1510190017 and 1601140031).
