On June 27, 2017 U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) released Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) #17-000375 announcing a postponement to the release of the final primary deployment of the ACE core trade processing capabilities.
According to the notice, “We have been conducting ongoing, rigorous testing to ensure these capabilities will operate successfully. Our latest efforts have revealed areas specific to collections that are in need of further testing before these capabilities can be deployed.”
The core trade processing capabilities include:
- Liquidation
- Reconciliation
- Drawback
- Duty Deferral
- Collections
- Automated Surety Interface (ASI)
The deployment was previously scheduled for July 8, 2017, but will now be delayed until a rescheduled deployment date is published in the Federal Register no less than 30 days in advance.
