M1 Delay & Exports/Drawback Highlighted in Oct 2011 TSN Report

The Trade Support Network has issued its October 2011 Monthly Committee Report, which indicates that discussions are taking place on issues related to the automation of the export manifest in ACE, as well as using ACE Post Summary Correction (PSC) for drawback. The October report also notes that the implementation plan for ACE e-Manifest: Ocean and Rail (MI) has run into issues that must be resolved prior to opening the program for enrollment.

The report states that CBP is in the process of quantifying those issues, which will likely result in small delays in delivery. However, delivery is still expected to be completed in 2012.

(ITT's most recent update on the M1 delay was on November 7, 2011, where it was reported that deployment at the first 3 ports was delayed. See ITT's Online Archives 11110603 for summary stating that CBP's deployment of M1 Pilot for first 3 ports delayed. See ITT's Online Archives 11101733 and 11110103 for earlier summaries on the deployment of ACE M1 Pilot.

See future issue of ITT for detailed summary.)
