PSCs Targeted to Begin in Late April 2011
CBP sources stated at Tradewatch 2011 on February 17, 2011 that PSC functionality is targeted for delivery in the late April 2011 time frame. (As PSC is part of an ESAR release, this may be the launch time for the entire Spring release.)
(A PSC transaction will be a “full replace” of the existing ACE entry summary as a new version. It will replace the existing Post Entry Amendment (PEA) hardcopy process for ACE entry summaries.)
