September 21, 2011 by Marie Rapport|Customs and Ports

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has issued CSMS# 11-000219 which contains guidelines intended to provide uniform national procedures for entry deletion and entry or entry summary cancellation in ACS, ACE and for EIP/RLF.

CBP states that the guidelines will provide for self inspection controls and ensure financial responsibility and data integrity in CBP's automated systems, including the Automated Commercial System (ACS) and the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). The deletion and cancellation processes outlined in this policy also apply to Electronic Invoice (EIP)/Remote Location Filing (RLF) entries.
