CBP posted new CATAIR (Customs and Trade Automated Interface Requirements) as part of the entry summary validations recently added to the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), the agency said in CSMS message. The CATAIR information (here) relates to a new validation capability meant to make sure an importer's estimated duty conforms to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule when filing entries in ACE (see Ref:13111418).
CBP issued the following releases on commercial trade and related issues:
CBP modified the National Customs Automation Program test that allows importers to use the Automated Broker Interface to file post-summary corrections (PSCs) of certain pre-liquidation ACE entry summaries (ESAR IV). The modifications to the ESAR IV test program "will allow filers greater access to data filed in ACE as it relates to the original entry and any subsequent PSC, limit certain additional data elements from being changed via PSC, and preclude a PSC on any entry that has been protested or where merchandise covered by the original entry has been conditionally released and its right to admission has not been determined," said CBP. CBP has been considering how to handle the question of greater data access since soon after the test was announced in 2011 (see 11081219).
