3. CBP Issues ABI Message on Its Use of Incorrect ACE Terminology
CBP has issued an ABI administrative message stating that it used the term "truck AMS" in error in a previous ABI message (Adm: 07-0110, dated 05/07/07) announcing that e-Manifest: Truck participants can no longer use shipment control numbers as in-bond numbers. CBP notes that the correct ACE terminology is "e-Manifest: Truck."
