(On June 24, 2011, CBP issued CSMS 11-000144 announcing the publication of the Federal Register Notice (see 76 FR 37136, published June 24, 2011), regarding the deployment of new Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Entry Summary, Accounts and Revenue (ESAR) capabilities.
The CSMS informed importers they were now allowed to use the Automated Broker Interface (ABI) to file post-summary corrections (PSCs) for entry summary types 01 and 03 filed in ACE. Importers were also informed that as the PSC procedure replaces the existing Post Entry Amendment (PEA) hard copy process, PEAs will not be accepted effective September 22, 2011 for entry summaries filed in ACE.)
(See ITT's Online Archives or 09/16/11 news, 11091620, for BP reminder on this change, which also stated that certain AD/CV changes would also take effect for ACS PEAs on September 22, 2011. )
