The Consumer Product Safety Commission will begin deploying its “two-way messaging” with CBP in ACE in late fall, its officials said at a recent Trade Support Network meeting, according to a blog post from CustomsNow. At that time, CPSC will begin using ACE to require examinations of cargo (instead of having to manually notify CBP officers) on more than 300 tariff codes for high-risk products that they will monitor in CBP’s electronic filing system. If CPSC marks a shipment under review, the filer should not begin immediately uploading documents to CBP’s document image system (DIS), the CPSC officials said, according to CustomsNow. Instead, CPSC will contact the filer and request the documents. CPSC has been working for years on its ACE integration, which will eventually allow CPSC and CBP to also share data on exam information and dispositions, a CPSC official recently said (see 1909240037).

CBP added the ability in ACE for importers to file entries with recently excluded goods in the second tranche of Section 301 tariffs on Oct. 8, it said in a CSMS messages. For the second tranche exclusions, filers of imported products that were granted an exclusion (see 1909300041) should report the regular Chapters 39, 70, 73, 84, 85, 86 and 90 Harmonized Tariff Schedule number, as well as subheading 9903.88.20. “Importers shall not submit the corresponding Chapter 99 HTS number for the Section 301 duties when" subheading 9903.88.20 is submitted, CBP said.

CBP and the State Department’s Office of Marine Conservation will hold a call Oct. 17 at 1 p.m. to gather input as State develops its final rule on filing of shrimp exporter’s and importer’s declarations in ACE, the National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America said in an emailed update. CBP and State have been accepting electronic data from Form DS-2031 and, in cases of countries not certified to export shrimp, the full DIS-2031 through the document imaging system, since a pilot began in 2016 (see 1606140007). As State prepares its final rule requiring ACE filing, it “would like to discuss the Trade's experience and feedback for the last three years,” according to the NCBFAA. Participants should dial (844) 767-5679, access code 6738926.
CBP's requirement that consignees appoint customs brokers to be importers-of-record on Type 86 entries creates "a significant business risk and is likely to deter customs brokers from filing type 86 entries," the National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America said in comments on the agency's test of the entry type (see 1908120019). The new entry type is being tested as a way to file informal entries in ACE for low value shipments. CBP is accepting comments through the duration of the test.
