CBP will deploy the new entry type 86 for Section 321 shipments in ACE on Sept. 28, rather than the previously planned August date, the agency said in an updated deployment schedule. A Federal Register notice on a test for the entry type is expected soon (see 1905300050). Other changes mentioned in a CSMS message were the deployment dates for Collections Release One and the Modernizing e214 Online Admission Process, which were previously scheduled but are now not finalized. An antidumping and countervailing duty redesign was also added, with a "target deployment" of Sept. 14.

CBP will add the ability in ACE for importers to file entries with the sixth group of exclusions from the first tranche of Section 301 tariffs on July 11, it said in a CSMS message. Filers of imported products that were granted an exclusion (see 1907080023) should report the regular Chapter 84, 85 or 90 Harmonized Tariff Schedule number, as well as subheading 9903.88.11, for products subject to Section 301 duties on products from China but that have been granted an exclusion by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. “Importers shall not submit the corresponding Chapter 99 HTS number for the Section 301 duties when HTS 9903.88.11 is submitted,” CBP said.

CBP will require ACE for reporting all in-bond exports, arrivals and diversions starting July 29, the agency said in a CSMS message. "CBP will no longer accept paper copies of the CBPF 7512 to perform arrival and export functionality," though air shipments will still be exempt from the requirements, it said. "An ACE edit will issue a rejection if these actions are not performed," CBP said. "At this time, no date is set for implementation of the provision requiring the 6-digit Harmonized Tariff Schedule number requirement for Immediate Transportation movements." The Automated In-Bond Processing Business Process document is the "official publication which provides both CBP and the trade community with guidance, requirements and responsibilities when processing in-bond cargo," the agency said.
The Food and Drug Administration wasn't getting ACE entries due to "connection problems between FDA and CBP’s systems," CBP said in a June 29 CSMS message. Filers that already submitted Prior Notice through ACE and received confirmation don't need to take further action, CBP said. Filers that haven't received confirmation or have not yet submitted Prior Notice can "wait until the issue is resolved, unless this will cause the prior notice submission to be untimely," CBP said. "Filers who choose this option should understand that they remain responsible under section 801(m) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under the prior notice final rule for filing timely prior notice." Filers can also provide CBP officers "with evidence to show prior notice was submitted via ACE (e.g. signed copy of the ABI/ACE transmission)" or provide a confirmation page from the Prior Notice System Interface that shows submission.

CBP will fully transition to its new Cargo Systems Messaging Service platform on July 1, it said in a CSMS message posted to the new platform. The message, which was not posted to CBP’s legacy system, says CBP will no longer update the old website after June 30, though it will remain available as an archive until Sept. 30, 2019, when the old system will be fully shut down.
