ACE Cuban ABI Entries and eBond Updates

On February 24, 2018, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will deploy Cuban ABI Entries and updates to eBond functionality in ACE.

Ability to Accept Goods from Cuba

What will change in ACE for Cuban ABI Entries?

ACE will be updated to allow electronic entry and entry summary filing via the Automated Broker Interface (ABI) for goods from Cuba.

What additional resources are available?

  • Filers should ensure their software vendors have updated their programs to allow Cuba to be reported as a valid country of origin. Vendors should reference the latest ACE CATAIR documentation for coding revisions.

eBond

  • ACE will decrement Drawback eBonds when Accelerated Payment (AP) is requested. An eBond bond status will be sent to the sureties.
  • Entry Summary Nightly, Entry Summary Quarterly, and Continuous Bond (AS, AQ, and BO) Automated Surety Interfaces (ASI) will be generated from ACE. All other ASI will remain in ACS.
