CBP will also make available on Dec. 9 in the production environment the "new ACE statement reports to allow" the trade "to also test with us as we continue in our parallel mode processing," said Crockett. CBP decided further parallel testing is needed "because we did not have an opportunity to process monthly statements while in parallel mode," she said. CBP is also "closely monitoring the potential of a government funding lapse on Dec. 8 and will provide further communication regarding any impact to deployment as early as possible should that happen," she said.
