CBP Updates DIS Implementation Guide to Allow for Additional Review Statuses

CBP is updating its Document Image System implementation guide to modify the document review process for documents submitted to DIS, it said. CBP will be able to send users a status of "accepted" or "under review" when a document is accepted or in the process of being reviewed, the agency said in a CSMS message March 26. Before the update, a review status was available only when a document has been rejected. The review status messages returned to the filer also may now have accompanying comments, CBP said.

CBP said that even though the capability will be available, a review status won't be sent for all documents it reviews.

The changes are in the certification environment for trade testing and are expected to be deployed in production no earlier than April 27, CBP said.
