CSMS #45244014 - Update: Updated Draft ACE Entry Summary Create/Update CATAIR for FTZ Identifier Format Change

The FTZ Identifier Format Change deployment date to Production, originally scheduled for January 23, 2021, has been changed to April 24, 2021.

Background: The Entry Summary Create/Update transaction (AE) will be changing to accept an expanded 9-character FTZ ID format. In that transaction, to accommodate the expanded length, the Foreign Trade Zone Identifier (currently 11-Reccord positions 54-60) will be moving to the 11-Record positions 63-71 (currently ‘Filler’). The repositioned data element will accommodate the new 9-character ID as well as the legacy 5- and 7-character versions of the ID. The transition will be a hard cutover when the change is implemented in CERT and PROD; the FTZ ID will no longer be recognized in positions 54-60 of the 11-Record.

In addition, once the transition occurs, the output of the Entry Summary Query (JD) will return (when full output requested) a Foreign Trade Zone Identifier of 5-, 7-, or 9-character length in the 11-Record positions 63-71.

CATAIR changes have been posted to CBP.gov in the ‘future’ section. This change is anticipated to be deployed to PROD on April 24, 2021. The change will be deployed prior to that in the CERT environment on December 23, 2020 to accommodate trade testing.

Questions or concerns should be directed to Entry Summary, Accounts & Revenue Division (ESAR) at esar@cbp.dhs.gov.
