It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is only 3
weeks away! It is the season of giving thanks, and we want to express
our gratitude to our customers for continuing to provide us with
valuable feedback on how to serve you better. In these difficult
economic times, it's important to count our blessings, and we are
grateful for your continued support.
CBP has been making some
changes this month that you need to know about. Here's what's
coming up:
Softwood Lumber
(CSMS# 08-000288): The Canada Softwood Export Permit number will
now be required for informal entry types 11 and 12 in addition
to the original entry types. CBP has not implemented these changes
as of their message on 10/31 but anticipated these to be enforced
within 3-4 weeks. We are currently working on that modification.
Air
In-Bond (CSMS# 08-000280): On November 22, ABI filers
will be able to submit and/or modify In-Bond movements for Air
AMS. We will have these new programs ready soon. If you are interested
in purchasing this application, please give us a call.
Importer
Security Filing/10+2 (CSMS# 08-000290): On November 3,
CBP sent out revisions to the existing data set for the ISF 10+2
application. However, no target date has been announced as of
11/5. We are working on the programs to submit this data set and
are currently in the testing phase with ABI. We are also developing
a special ASCI Link Interface which will allow your customers
to submit ISF requirements directly to your system via the internet.
We will let you know as soon as the deadline is announced.
