Automated Commercial Environment (ACE)
April 2021 — Question 7
If CBP requires supporting documents to be submitted when the rejected entry summary is re-transmitted, what will CBP send to the importer/broker?
- ANo-file liquidated damage case
- BLate file liquidated damage case
- CCBP Form 28✓ CBP's answer
- DAn entry summary reject
- ECBP Form 29
Why this answer
The cited section of the ACE entry summary business rules governs what happens after CBP rejects an entry summary. Under the edition tested, when CBP wants supporting documentation to accompany the re-transmitted summary, it requests those documents by issuing a CBP Form 28, Request for Information, the form CBP uses whenever it needs information or documents from the importer. Form 29, the tempting distractor, fails because a Notice of Action announces action CBP has taken or proposes to take rather than requesting anything, and liquidated damages cases address failures to file, not document requests tied to a re-transmission. Watch for: Confusing Form 28, which requests information, with Form 29, which announces action taken or proposed.
