CN630  Advance Commercial Information  --  Updates on the Implementation of Cargo and Conveyance Reporting for Air Mode and Marine Shipments Loaded in the United States

CN 630 updates the implementation date given in Customs Notice N-605, Advance Commercial Information   --  Updates on Cargo and Conveyance Electronic Reporting for Air Mode and for Marine Shipments Loaded in the United States, which was issued on 10 February 2005, and announced the implementation date of Phase 2 of the Advance Commercial Information (ACI) initiative and provided the requirements.

The systems for Phase 2 of the ACI will be available on 12 December 2005, to receive the electronic transmission of cargo and conveyance data for air mode and marine shipments
loaded in the US instead of 5 December 2005, as previously announced.

Marine carriers will not be requested to transmit electronically the information on the vessel stowage (bay plan data) as of December 2005 as previously announced in Customs Notice N-605.  Future bay plan requirements will be announced in a separate Customs Notice.

Other than the implementation date and the bay plan requirements, all reporting requirements for Phase 2 of the ACI as outlined in Customs Notice N-605 remain unchanged.
Detailed requirements are available in the ACI Client Document (formerly Participants’ Requirements Document)….
