CSMS #44980005 - ISF CATAIR (ABI) Deployment 12/10/2020

On December 10, 2020 CBP will implement changes to CATAIR (ABI) processing of ISF filings. This change will align system processing with the Implementation Guide as far as reporting of ISF entities utilizing an Employer Identification Number (IRS #). The implementation guide indicates the valid format is: NN-NNNNNNNXX, however CBP would previously accept NN-NNNNNNN. On December 10, 2020 CBP will begin to reject ISF filings that do not follow the valid format laid out in the Implementation Guide. Additionally, CBP will enforce both the surety code and bond reference number be provided if a single transaction bond is submitted on the ISF transmission also bringing the system edits in line with the Implementation Guide. For any questions regarding this please contact your assigned Client Representative.
