CBP opened up a "war room" on March 28 to help industry with the March 31 ACE mandatory use date for several types of entries, said CBP on its website (here). The war room, which is overseen by the ACE Business Office, will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily through April 8, said the agency. Anyone interested in reaching the war room will first need to go through a client representative, who "will have direct access to the war room and will escalate your issue, if necessary," CBP said. The war room will only address issues related to transactions mandated in ACE on March 31, which includes entry summaries for entry types 01, 03, 11, 23, 51 and 52 as well as all entries and entry summaries of those entry types with Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Lacey Act or National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data (see 1603250048). CBP had similar plans for past transition dates (see 1506010042).

CBP is announcing the calendar year 2016 tariff-rate quota for tuna in airtight containers (here). It said 15,350,636 kilograms of tuna in air-tight containers may be entered and withdrawn from warehouse for consumption during 2016, at the rate of 6% ad valorem under HTS subheading 1604.14.22. Any such tuna which is entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption during the current calendar year in excess of this quota will be dutiable at the rate of 12.5% ad valorem under HTS subheading 1604.14.30.
CBP will begin to enforce existing regulations that prohibit single entries for cargo on separate trains, said CBP in a CSMS message (here). While the Automated Commercial Service "did not enforce this regulatory requirement," ACE Cargo Release "was coded to enforce this, and consequently any entry that has bills of lading from more than one importing conveyance will be rejected," the agency said. All cargo arriving on non-split conveyances may not be entered with cargo from another non-split conveyance, CBP said. "For CBP purposes, each train is a unique consist, and cargo from one such train may not be entered on the same entry with cargo from another such train (trains are not considered to be split [Bills of Lading] under the regulations)." Split air waybills will continue to be processed, CBP said.
