Entry Types 23, 06 Accepted in ACE

CBP on Oct. 17 began accepting entry and entry summary types 23 (Temporary Importation Bond (TIB)) and 06 (Consumption – Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ)) in the certification and production environments of the Automated Commercial Environment, the agency said (here). CBP previously scheduled deployment of quota-related entry types for Feb. 27, but has since revised that plan following industry concerns (see 1509300020).

The agency is also now able to process multiple holds through ACE, it said. "Holds may be placed by CBP, select agencies with direct hold authority (FDA and FWS), or through requests from other agencies," it said. "These holds can be placed and/or removed independently from each other. All holds must be resolved prior to CBP issuing a 1C message ('Customs Released')." CBP will add expedited release programs for truck and rail on Oct. 31, it said.
