(ESAR A2.2 allows 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.)
1 Programming Issue Moved to Closed List
One programming issues were moved from the “Open” list to the “Closed” list with this update:
| Date Opened | Issue Description (complete description) |
| 06/17/10 | ACE ES Missing AD/CVD Case - Generates ACE System Failure in Error. An ACE entry summary (AE) transaction which includes two 53-records for reporting AD/CVD case information and neither of the 53-records has a case number in positions 3-12 is responded to with an ACE SYSTEM FAILURE message in the outbound AX transaction. The correct reject response for each of the 53-records should be CASE NUMBER MISSING. |
1 Programming Issue Added to the Open List
| Date Opened | Issue Description (complete description) |
| 12/08/11 | ACE Entry Summary Rejected for HTS Not Active. A filer submitted an ACE entry summary transaction on 12/7/11 using HTS number 6115210010 which ACE rejected as not active. The Line Action Date used to validate the HTS number will be set equal to the estimated entry date -- which in the entry summary transaction is 12/03/11. The HTS number is active in ACS for the Line Action Date of 12/3/11 - valid 1/1/2011 thru 12/31/11. |
| 04/23/12 | ACE ES not in ACE report ESM-7068. This concerns four ACE entry summaries filed by one broker. The ES were processed and persisted in ACE. However, when running the ESM 7068 report, the entry summaries do not appear. |
| 04/23/12 | RLF ACE Entry Summary Cargo Release Response from ACS for Broker Permit Revoked. Brokers no longer permitted at selected ports when filing an ACE RLF entry summary for the port from another port (in which they are authorized for RLF) are receiving the warning Broker Permit Revoked in the ACS cargo certification results. |
| 04/26/12 | ACE portal error when attaching documents to forms for ACS entry summaries. When a trade user attempts to add attachments to various CBP forms on the ACE portal for ACS entry summaries, the attachments are not added and a response is not sent to CBP. |
| 05/07/12 | ACE Entry Summaries Rejected in Error for IR Number Validation. A filer submitted a few ACE AEs using the format of the sold to and delivered to parties without the suffix on an IRS number. ACE rejected these for unknown parties. However, reporting the IR number format (an IRS number without the suffix) as related in the Entry Summary Create/Update CATAIR chapter Usage note f. indicates that the IRS number with no suffix is acceptable. ACE should accept the party ID for an IRS number with no suffix in the IR, consignee, 4811, sold to and delivered to parties. |
