More information about CBP's plans to move the Importer Trade Activity reports to ACE reports (see 1904180023) has been released in a new document. During the phased transition, some of the volumes of data will be limited, it said. "[T]hese reports will not be able to accommodate large data volumes like what would be provided in a 5-year ITRAC extract," CBP said. "Therefore, please limit the begin and end date filters in your reports accordingly, especially for the entry summary and cargo release reports." CBP said brokers and importers can now find most ITRAC data in ACE reports, except for bond data for brokers and exam data, it said. CBP is still trying to figure out how to provide exam data in ACE reports, the agency said.

CBP on April 18 added the ability in ACE for importers to file entries with the third group of exclusions from Section 301 duties, it said in a CSMS message. Filers of imported products that were granted an exclusion should report the regular Chapter 84, 85 or 90 Harmonized Tariff Schedule number, as well as subheading 9903.88.07 for products subject to Section 301 duties on products from China but that have been granted an exclusion by the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. “Do not submit the corresponding Chapter 99 HTS number for the Section 301 duties when HTS 9903.88.07 is submitted,” CBP said.

For example, the agency is "investing in cognitive analytics to protect U.S. business from unfair or illicit trade through more effective risk assessment and targeting," she said.
