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.)

One Programming Issues Move to Closed List

The following item was moved from the “Open” list to the “Closed” list with this update:

Date OpenedIssue Description (complete description)
08/07/09Paperless indicator discrepancy between broker and CBP statements. There is an inconsistency in the Paperless Indicator field between what the broker receives on their Final Statement vs. what CBP receives on their Final Statement on ACE entries involving liquidation holds. The broker is receiving a 'P' paperless indicator via ABI on the specific ACE entry summary (which means not to submit the paper docs to the port) while the CBP port is receiving the equivalent to docs required status.

No Programming Issues Added to the Open List

With this update, CBP has not newly listed any programming issues as "Open."
