Trade participants can now submit a PSC for an existing ACE entry type 01 and 03 entry summary. CBP previously stated that since the PSC process replaces the existing Post-Entry Amendment (PEA) hard copy process for entry summaries filed in ACE, PEAs will no longer be accepted for entry summaries filed in ACE effective 90 days after the June 4, 2011 deployment date.

The following ACE ABI CATAIR chapters supporting this deployment have been moved from the "future" ACE ABI CATAIR area of the CBP website and are now incorporated into the current ACE ABI CATAIR (available here):

  • Change Record 2011
  • Entry Summary Create/Update
  • ACS to ACE Condition Cross Reference
  • Entry Summary Query
  • Entry Summary Status Notification
  • ACE ABI Error Dictionary
  • Appendix G -- ACE ABI Condition Codes and Narrative Text
