CBP CSMS Messages and Web Postings

1. Registration for 10th Annual Trade Symposium Opens October 1st

2. Filers Should Not Rely on ACE Reports for Reconciliation Purposes

CBP has issued a CSMS message reminding importers and filers that when running ACE reports, reconciliation flags are not being consistently displayed for the entry summary. Until this issue is resolved, filers should not rely on ACE reports for reconciliation purposes. At this time the ACS remains the system of record for non-ACE entry summaries. Filers can use the entry summary data they submitted through the ABI for reconciliation purposes. Alternatively, filers needing assistance in completing the reconciliation entry can purchase applicable reports from the Revenue Division.
