CBP to Open Entry Summary Pilot to Type 51, 52 Entries
October 20, 2015 |Customs

CBP will open up its Automated Commercial Environment entry summary pilot to type 51 entries (merchandise imported by the Defense Contract Management Command (DCMAO NY) Military Only) and type 52 entries (government-dutiable – other than Defense Contract Management Command (DCMAO)), it said in a notice (here). Brokers and importers that use ACE will be able to electronically file an ACE entry summary for the release of entry type 51 and 52 cargo, in the air, ocean, rail, and truck modes of transportation as well as for mail, pedestrian, and passenger (hand-carried) modes of transportation, it said. The same eligibility requirements apply as those for entry types 01, 03 and 11, which are already part of CBP’s entry summary test. Brokers and importers seeking to participate should contact their CBP client representatives, or otherwise email Steven Zaccaro at steven.j.zaccaro@cbp.dhs.gov.

CBP Begins Pilot on AESDirect Filing in ACE
October 20, 2015 |Customs

CBP announced it is beginning a pilot to test filing of Electronic Export Information (EEI) through AESDirect in the Automated Commercial Environment (here). Beginning “no earlier than Oct. 1,” U.S. Principal Parties in Interest (USPPIs) or their authorized agents will be able to transmit EEI by selecting the “Submit AESDirect Filings” link in the ACE Exporter Account Portal, said CBP in the notice, which also has instructions on how to sign up for an Exporter Portal account. Once fully functional and available to all filers, ACE AESDirect will replace the Census Bureau’s AESDirect system, and the legacy system will be discontinued, said CBP.

October 19, 2015 |Customs

Ocean carriers and forwarders seeking to participate in CBP’s pilot on filing vessel cargo export manifests in the Automated Commercial Environment must have the capability to electronically send and receive data via Ocean CAMIR, ANSI X12, or Unified XML, said CBP in a notice (here). CBP issued the notice to correct its earlier announcement of the vessel export manifest pilot (see 1508190007), which listed the wrong message set capabilities, it said.
