CBP CSMS Messages and Web Postings
CBP has posted an updated version of its notice announcing that the Revenue Division will no longer fax copies of approved continuous bond submissions to the bond filer after October 1, 2009. Though continuous bond information is available via the ACE Portal, CBP clarifies that brokers will need access to their client's ACE Portal Importer account to obtain it. Brokers can also query bond data for their clients via ABI. (See ITT's Online Archives or 10/29/09 news, 09102905, for earlier BP summary.)(Notice, dated 11/18/09, available at http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/trade/priority_trade/revenue/bonds/pilot_program/news_develop/bond_submissions.xml)
