CBP Postpones Major Jan. 14 ACE Deployments

CBP postponed some major deployment plans for ACE originally set for Jan. 14, the agency said in a CSMS message (here). The scheduled deployment was to include liquidation, drawback, reconciliation, duty deferral, collections and statements (see 1612090030). "In consideration of stakeholder feedback and the complexity of the ongoing integration testing, CBP is providing additional time to prepare for the final core ACE deployment and ensure a smooth transition of liquidation, drawback, reconciliation, duty deferral, collections, statements and Automated Surety Interface capabilities in ACE," it said. "CBP will provide updated information and a new deployment date in the near future." Although it is postponing the ACE mandatory use date for drawback, most liquidation capabilities, reconciliation, duty deferral, collections, statements and the Automated Surety Interface, CBP will still move forward on Jan. 14 with posting notices of liquidation to its website as planned (see 1612090026).
