(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. CBP sources note that about 41 entities are filing entry summaries in ACE, and that ACE entry summaries represent less than 1% of all summaries filed.)

One Programming Issue Moved to Closed List

One programming issue was 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 programming issue as "Open":
