New AD/CVD Filing and Management Capabilities
ESAR III provides new capabilities specific to the filing and processing of antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) entries (also known as type 03 entries) as well as AD/CVD Case Management.
New Entry Summary Formatting Impacts All ACE Accounts
In addition, ESAR III also improves portal navigation and changes entry summary formatting, which impacts all ACE accounts.
According to CBP's earlier messages, all AE transactions (ACE entry summaries) must now be filed using the new record formats; any AE transactions filed using the prior record formats will be rejected.
