CBP Working to Fix Portal to Allow Responses to Forms
On October 31, 2010, CBP updated ACE capabilities related to Entry Summary, Accounts and Revenue (ESAR), including a new ability to respond to ACS, as well as ACE, CBP Forms 28, 29 and 4647. (See ITT's Online Archives or 10/29/10 news, 10102908, for BP summary.)
However, CBP recently stated that this new feature is not working properly yet, and until notified otherwise, users should respond to these forms by mail. (See ITT's Online Archives or 11/16/10 news, 10111603, for BP summary.)
(On October 6, 2010, CBP issued an email indicating that new compliance measurement (CM) guidelines and this October 31, 2010 ACE update would place additional requirements on CBP import specialists. The email, which was not intended for public viewing, had expected that there would be more CM summary reviews and more CBP Form 28s issued as a result of the two changes. See ITT's Online Archives or 11/03/10 news, 10110315, for BP summary.)
