Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
(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.)

Five Programming Issues Added to the Open List
With this update, CBP has newly listed the following as an "Open" programming issue:
Date Opened | Issue Description (complete description) |
06/28/11 | ACE Entry Summary AE Transaction without an AX Response. Several batch and block validations identify conditions whereby the outbound response message cannot be returned. An AE submitted for a sender/receiver not authorized did not generate an AX response. The AX was sent to a queue to discard and not recorded in the tool used by client reps. These messages are syntactically incorrect and cannot be returned to the sender yet should be recorded for client rep research. |
07/19/11 | ACE CERT - PSC Not Creating UC Message. A post summary correction entry summary AE transaction submitted by one filer (in ACE CERT) for an existing entry summary which was originally created by a different filer was processed successfully in ACE and replaced the existing entry summary. However, based on this scenario a UC outbound message should have been sent to the original entry summary filer with disposition type code 8 which indicates that an entry summary they “owned” has been replaced in ACE by another filer. |
07/21/11 | PSC AE by Another Filer - UC Message Error. When a Post Summary Correction (PSC) entry summary (AE) transaction is filed in ACE by a filer which is not the current owner of the entry summary, an Entry Summary Status Notification (UC) message should be sent to the most recent previous owner of the entry summary to inform them that a PSC has been submitted by another filer. The control records (A, B, Y, and Z) of this UC message should be constructed to contain the filer code and port code (and other required fields) to properly route the UC message to the most recent previous owner. ACE is not constructing the A and Z records correctly. |
07/28/11 | ACE PSC Entry Summary Rejected in Error for Permit Validation. Post Summary Correction (PSC) entry summary AE transactions are permitted for one filer to replace an entry summary originally created by another filer. In this scenario, the PSC AE filer must be authorized for processing in the port of entry for the entry summary. However, the ACE system is incorrectly validating the processing port of the original entry summary filer. The original entry summary was filed RLF. |
08/01/11 | F1 Event Failure at ACS. An ACE entry summary AE delete transaction successfully deleted an entry summary from ACE. However, when the F1 event was sent to ACS to also delete the entry summary from ACS, the F1 event was rejected by ACS indicating the following: “EXISTING ENTRY IN CUSTOMS STATUS”. The ACE entry summary was created in ACE on 6/23/11. The ES was originally scheduled to be on the 07/19/11 statement but appears to have been deleted from that statement in ACS on 7/29/11 by a CBP user. The ACE entry summary remained in trade control in ACE yet remained in CBP control in ACS -- allowing the delete in ACE but not in ACS. |
