CSMS #42703638 - Clarification on the CBP Added Lines in the E4 Output Record

The E4 output record of the ACE CATAIR Entry Summary Status Notification, which indicates the Quota Line Status of an entry summary, recently amended its description to include a clarification on the asterisk in line numbers when lines are added by CBP. The purpose of the asterisk is to differentiate between the Line Item Identifier submitted by filers and when a new line is created by CBP. The numbering format for the CBP added lines is as follows:

*01 through *0Z then

*10 through *1Z then

*20 through *2Z etc.

The CBP added lines will start with *01 regardless of how many lines were submitted by the trade.

Example #1: If the Line Item Identifier is 001 and CBP adds a line – that added line would be numbered *01. If two lines were added, those lines would be numbered *01 and *02.

Example #2: If the Line Item Identifier is 100 and CBP adds 15 lines, then the same numbering convention would continue. The 15 CBP added lines would be numbered *01,*02,*03,*04,*05,*06,*07,*08,*09, *0A, *0B, *0C, *0D, *0E, *0F *0G,*0H,*0I,*0J,*0K,*0L

It is important to note that the asterisk will always be on the left and will only be transmitted by CBP.
