(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.)

No Programming Issues Move to Closed List

No items were moved from the “Open” list to the “Closed” list with this update:

One Programming Issue Added to the Open List

With this update, CBP has newly listed the following as an “Open” programming issue:

Date OpenedIssue Description (complete description)
05/31/11ACE CERT PSC entry summary transaction rejected in error. ACE CERT PSC AE transactions submitted by a filer to replace a conventional entry summary originally filed by another trade participant in ACE CERT are being rejected in error -- the EDI profile in both ACS CERT and ACE CERT appear to be correct to permit this filer/port combination. This test is for a PSC filer to replace an entry summary originally filed by another.
