TSN Asks CBP to Provide Importers with Ability to File PSCs in ACE
The Account Management Committee of the Trade Support Network (TSN) has submitted a Great Idea Form that asks U.S. Customs and Border Protection to allow importers to file Post Summary Corrections through the ACE Portal. This enhancement would restore to importers that are not self-filers the ability to file their own corrections for ACE entry summaries, a benefit which was taken away when PEAs were disallowed for ACE summaries. This enhancement could also replace the current paper process of receiving and processing PEAs for non-ACE entry summaries.

The GIF states that such new functionality would allow the importer to maintain control of its corrections and thus ensure compliance. (See GIF form for details of the ACE Portal functionality sought.)
(See ITT's Online Archives, 11110326 for summary of the availability of a report of TSN Committee activities as of September 23, 2011, which discussed the need for this GIF. Note that another PSC GIF was discussed to allow the batch upload of corrections.
See ITT's Online Archives 11092014 and 11062403 for reminder and initial notice on the mandatory use of PSCs for type 01 and 03 ACE entry summaries, which states that PEAs were no longer allowed for such summaries as of September 22, 2011. See ITT's Online Archives 11072007 for summary of PSC section of the ACE FAQ.)
