CBP Puts New 'Dummy' Entries in ACE Cert Testing Environment for TFTEA Drawback

CBP announced the availability for testing of several specific types of “dummy” entry summaries in the ACE certification environment for new drawback procedures under the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act of 2015, in a Jan. 18 CSMS message. The entry summaries, prepared by members of the trade community, “should be used as the underlying imports on your drawback claim,” CBP said. “These entries have been loaded in addition to the original entry submitted to the certification environment.” Entry types covered by the dummy summaries include “air certification,” “bed-in-a-bag,” “compound duty,” “generic for unused or manufacturing,” “petroleum derivatives,” “Puerto Rico,” “sought element” and “vessel.” “Each filer will initially be given a maximum of 25 entries for use for a specific entry type requested,” CBP said.
