On June 11, 2015, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) #15-000355 providing a status update on the processing delays caused by the Air Manifest System transition to the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE).
CBP clarifies that, “Resolution of these issues is a top priority for CBP. ACE programmers are working as quickly as possible to resolve these critical issues as they are identified. To further facilitate the transition, our Air Manifest operational support staffing is being extended through Sunday, June 14, 2015.”
CBP has identified and acknowledged the following issues:
- Problems persist with some ACS and ACE entry releases that are failing to generate 1C releases to the carrier. CBP is working to resolve this issue.
- 1C messages are being sent in FXI messages, when they should be sent as FSN messages. CBP is working to resolve this issue.
- Invalid Firms code on local transfers (1F). This issue is related to data references around port clusters. If you experience this issue, please open a ticket with the CBP Help Desk and indicate Firms code failing and an associated AWB number.
Expeditors will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they occur. Please contact your local Expeditors office for specific questions and concerns.
