CBP to Change Method for In-Bond Number Use
November 27, 2015 |Customs

There's an issue with providing high volume air in-bond users the range of in-bond numbers required due to the inclusion of air in-bonds within the Automated Commercial Environment, said CBP. "To resolve this the air trade entities and CBP propose changing the way a valid 9 digit number’s check digit is calculated to add a plus 1, 2 or 3 on to the MOD 7 check digit. If not identified as one of these Air high volume in-bond please continue to use the current nine digit in-bonds with a MOD 7 check digit," CBP said in a CSMS message (here). "Due to this change a note in the Instructional Guidelines (IGs) for the Air CAMIR, the In-bond CATAIR, the ACS Cargo Release and the ACS Entry Summary to include this format have been made and posted to the website. If your programing validates the in-bond number you may need to make change to include this as a valid in-bond number." No ACE documentation for ACE Entry Release or ACE Entry Summary was required because they do "not note how a valid in-bond number is formulated," it said.
