CBP saw "the largest percentage increase ever" on the cargo release Automated Commercial Environment submission rate in January, the agency said (here). During January, the ACE submission rate for cargo release moved up 7 percent to 20.4 percent, CBP said. CBP considers the percentages an important measure of readiness for mandatory use of ACE (see 1510190017). CBP also reported that entry summaries filed in ACE fell by 7 percent, while the percentage of entry summaries filed in the Automated Commercial System grew by 1 percent. Unique filers for Partner Government Agency pilots also grew from December to January, up from 114 to 469, CBP said.
CBP made big strides on numerous fronts for Automated Commercial Environment deployment, the agency said in a news release (here). CBP finished deploying all core manifest processing capabilities and 90 percent of core cargo release capabilities during fiscal year 2015, it said. CBP also moved closer to completing post-release and export deployments in ACE, it said. CBP also said it collected $1.2 billion in antidumping/countervailing duty deposits and "18 monetary penalties totaling over $60 million on importers for fraud, gross negligence, and negligence for AD/CVD violations." Additionally, "92 CBP audits of importers of AD/CVD commodities identified $69 million in AD/CVD discrepancies with $7 million collected to date," said CBP. The multiagency Commercial Targeting and Analysis Center initiated 368 seizures of unsafe imported products in FY15, an increase of 107 percent over the previous year, CBP said.
