Report Available on the
24 High Priority Edits
CBP Has Agreed to Carry Over to ACE
In May 2008, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials attending the
Departmental Advisory Committee on Commercial Operations of U.S. Customs and
Border Protection and Related Homeland Security Functions (COAC) announced that
CBP would carry over into the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) 24 edits
which the Trade Support Network had asked CBP to keep.
A report on these 24 edits has now been posted to the Automated
Commercial Environment Transition Forum Web site.
(In 2007, CBP proposed that 63 current Automated Commercial System (ACS)
edits specific to the commercial preparation of the Entry Summary not be
carried over into ACE. The TSN reviewed and evaluated CBP's proposal and
responded with 24 edits that TSN members believed were critical to keep. CBP's
proposal was originally called "Edit Lite," but is now referred to as
'"Edit Modification.")

In May 2008, CBP sources stated that these edits would not be included
in ACE ESAR A2.2 Drop, but would likely be incorporated into ACE sometime
before entry summary filing in ACE becomes mandatory (i.e., when all entry
types can be submitted in ACE and sufficient trade testing is completed).

Edits, Trade's Evaluation of Edits, Etc.
For each of the ACS edits listed above, the report provides an
explanation of the validation, the resulting ACS error message, and the trade's
evaluation of why the edit is high priority.
A legend explaining the evaluation reason codes for the report has also
been posted to the ACE Transition Forum Web site.
