Port of NY/NJ Says No More Paper Responses to 'Docs Required' Messages

The Port of New York/Newark provided guidance to filers on how to submit documentation to CBP in light of the ongoing transition to ACE, in an informational pipeline dated May 16. When receiving “Documents Required” or “Intensive” messages after filing an entry in ACE, filers should not submit paper documents, but rather use the Document Imaging System via electronic data interchange (EDI) or email them to docs@cbp.dhs.gov, it said. Remote location filing (RLF) filers submitting ACE entry summaries certified for cargo release must submit their invoices to CBP via DIS, and not the legacy Automated Import Interface (AII), said the pipeline. Filers that receive requests for an entry summary package, or receive a CBP Form 28 or Form 29, may respond via the ACE Portal, DIS via EDI, email, or in paper form, it said.
