(ESAR A2.2 allows for the filing and processing of formal (type 01) and informal (type 11) entry summaries for those who volunteer to submit such entry summaries in ACE. It also allows importers with ACE accounts (and brokers if granted cross account access) to respond to certain CBP forms via the ACE portal.)
Four Programming Issues Added to the Closed List
The following four items were moved from the “Open” list to the “Closed” list with this update:
Date Opened | Issue Description (complete description) |
09/01/10 | ACE Entry Summary Header Consignee Validation Error. An IR number correctly rejected as VOID when used in the line level delivered to party 47-record is erroneously accepted when used in the entry summary header 11-record Consignee data field. |
04/07/11 | HTS 9403.90.8010 Issue. An ACE filer submitted an entry summary transaction to ACE, 4/6/11, which ACE rejected for HTS number not active. However, the HTS number (9403908010) is active in ACS with a begin date of 01/01/11 and end data of 99/99/99. The HTS number should have been accepted in an entry summary in ACE. |
04/11/11 | ACE Entry Summary AE - No AX Response. An ACE entry summary transaction submitted on 4/7/11 during the system “outage” was resubmitted 3 times the following day on 4/8/11. None of the resubmissions indicate that the AE transaction was processed and none provided an outbound response AX message. The entry summary was apparently processed (even though an AX response was not provided) during the outage on 4/7/11 since it exists in the ACE data base. |
05/09/11 | ACE Entry Summary Transactions Not Processed in ACE. Entry summary AE transactions submitted to ACE on Sunday, 5/8/11, starting at 03:21 up to 07:30 were not processed in ACE and did not return an outbound response message to the filer. |
Two Programming Issues Added to the Open List
With this update, CBP has newly listed the following as “Open” programming issues:
Date Opened | Issue Description (complete description) |
05/04/11 | ACE CERT ES Not in ACS. A test ACE entry summary transaction containing 999 lines was submitted by a trade participant several times in ACE CERT. It appears that ACE CERT processed and persisted the entry summary in ACE and sent the ES data to ACS. However, the ACE ES does not exist in ACS. |
05/09/11 | ACE Entry Summary Not in ACS. An entry summary transaction filed in ACE with a port code different from the port code used in ACS for the cargo release was rejected by ACS when the entry summary data was processed in ACS. The data was rejected for “ENTRY DELETE NOT ALLOWED”. |
An Additional 55 Issues Remain on Open List
