(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.)
1 Programming Issue Moved to Closed List
One programming issue was moved from the “Open” list to the “Closed” list with this update:
| Date Opened | Issue Description (complete description) |
| 3/5/2012 | ACE CERT -- Not Processing CATAIR Transactions. It appears that the last CATAIR transactions processed by ACE CERT were on Saturday, 3/3/12, at 13:47. These were transactions submitted by the Help Desk for system checkout. No transactions from the trade have been processed in ACE CERT since 3/3/12 at 01:30. |
Two Programming Issues Added to the Open List
With this update, CBP has newly listed the following programming issues as "Open."
| Date Opened | Issue Description (complete description) |
| 03/01/12 | ACE ABI "Batch Rejected" Outbound Messages Constructed Incorrectly. The errors include an application identifier in the outbound A-record, not returning a system generated B-record, and not returning a system generated Y-record. As the business rules and CATAIR indicate, system generated B- and Y-records include only the B or Y record identifier in positions 1 and 80 of the records. In addition, an application identifier should not be returned in the A-record. |
| 03/14/12 | HTS Numbers Not Active in ACE - Causing ACE Entry Summary Rejects. Several ACE entry summaries have been rejected by ACE for HTS Number Not Active. However, the HTS numbers are valid and active in ACS. It appears that the HTS numbers impacted have one tariff record in ACS with an end date of 3/14/12 and another tariff record with a begin date of 3/15/12 -- which is a valid scenario and should not cause ACE entry summary transactions to be rejected. |
An Additional 80 Issues Remain on Open List
An additional 80 issues continue to be listed as "Open" on CBP’s spreadsheet (see spreadsheet for full details of each open issue, as well a full list of the issues that have been closed (completed), canceled, and deferred):
