CBP to Deploy Updated Form 5106 on March 16
CBP will deploy its updated Form 5106 (Create/Update Importer Identity Form) on March 16, CBP said in a Feb. 20 notice. "The legacy Importer Create/Update ABI application (TI) will be disabled at 8:00 pm on Friday, March 15, 2019," CBP said. "Any submissions of the TI after that time will be rejected. During the outage window, the new ACE Importer Create/Update functionality for Trade and CBP users will be deployed to ACE production. Legacy importer accounts will be converted to new ACE as part of the deployment of the 5106 in new ACE. Any new ACE Importer Create/Update submissions (TP) submitted to ACE prior to completion of the deployment will be held in queue and processed once the entire deployment is completed."

The previously planned deployment in February was delayed due to the partial federal government shutdown (see 1901170046). The agency released a draft version of the form last year. "CBP Form 5106 is the basis for establishing bond coverage, release and entry of merchandise, liquidation, issuance of bills, refunds and the processing of drawback, and Fines Penalties & Forfeitures actions," the agency said. "The revised form will include new data elements, which will provide additional detail on individuals and organizations requesting to be recognized as Importers of Record (IOR), thereby enhancing CBP’s ability to perform risk assessments."
