## Periodic Monthly Statement Overview

- Periodic Monthly Statement is a feature of the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) that simplifies the processing of duties and fees and promotes account based processing
- Streamlines accounting and reporting processes by providing the capability to make periodic payments on a monthly basis
- Moves from a transaction-by-transaction payment process or a daily payment process to an interest-free periodic monthly statement process
- Rolls-up the collection processing of the duty and fees for eligible individual entry summaries for goods that are either entered or released during the previous month and allows payment on the 15th working day of the following month

## Periodic Monthly Statement Benefits

- Benefits of Periodic Monthly Statement include:
- Allows all eligible shipments released during the month to be paid on the 15th working day of the following month
- Provides additional flexibility in the management of working capital required for duty payments
- Provides potentially significant cash flow advantages
- Allows the filer to select either a national or a port statement
- Allows the broker to pay on behalf of the importer on either an importer or broker statement from the importer or broker Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) account
- Allows accounts to view the statement as it is being built

## The following entry summary payment options are available to all periodic monthly statement participants:
Single Pay
Automated Broker Interface (ABI) Daily Statement
Periodic Monthly Statement
All ABI entries covered by a continuous bond may be flagged for inclusion on a periodic monthly statement except:
Reconciliation (Type 09)
NAFTA Duty Deferral (Type 08)
Entries with tax class codes

- Single Pay
- Automated Broker Interface (ABI) Daily Statement
- Periodic Monthly Statement
- All ABI entries covered by a continuous bond may be flagged for inclusion on a periodic monthly statement except:
- Reconciliation (Type 09)
- NAFTA Duty Deferral (Type 08)
- Entries with tax class codes

- Overall Parameters

## The filer transmits the entry summary data and schedules it for Periodic Daily Statement  
The periodic statement month (new field) indicates the month for payment.  This controls the periodic monthly statement on which the entry summary will be included
Entry summaries can be removed from the statement at various times throughout the process but depending on the timing of the removal could be subject to liquidated damages

- The periodic statement month (new field) indicates the month for payment.  This controls the periodic monthly statement on which the entry summary will be included
- Entry summaries can be removed from the statement at various times throughout the process but depending on the timing of the removal could be subject to liquidated damages

- Periodic Monthly Statement Process

## Scheduling Statement Due Date
Entries should be scheduled for an ABI Periodic Daily Statement within ten working days of the date of entry
Importer can choose from the first to the 11th working day of the month when the preliminary Periodic Monthly Statement is generated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)  (Default is the 11th working day of the month which CBP recommends all parties use)

## Scheduling Statement Due Date
The Periodic Daily Statement Debit Authorization and/or Entry Summary Presentation (PN Application Identifier) must be processed on schedule for each Periodic Daily Statement 
For ACH Debit participants, the “PN” acts as Debit Authorization AND Entry Summary Presentation
For ACH Debit participants, on the 15th working day of each month, CBP will transmit the payment authorizations that were done for each Periodic Daily Statement to the bank
Make certain the money is in the bank on the 15th working day.  If there is no money to cover the PNs, nothing will be debited.  Thus no payments are processed and all summaries are now subject to liquidated damages

## Importer accounts will always have ‘Port’ statements
Just like today with Daily Statements, with Periodic Daily Statements and Periodic Monthly Statements, if an importer uses different brokers to process their entry summaries in a given port, these entry summaries will appear on different Periodic Daily Statements and Periodic Monthly Statements if they are filed with different filer codes.  Only if entries are filed with one filer code, can all the entry summaries for that port appear on one Periodic Daily Statement and one Periodic Monthly Statement

- General Information

## Options for Participation in Periodic Monthly Statement

- Importers have two options to participate in periodic monthly statement:
- Establish an ACE account
- As an ACE account the importer will have access to the ACE Portal and reports
- Establish a non-Portal account through a broker who is an ACE Account
- As a non-Portal account, the importer will not have access to the ACE Portal and reports

## Instructions for Participation -      Current ACE Portal Account 

## Instructions for Participation  Non Portal Account 

## Common Issues

- Sending incorrect month on quota or RLF entries
- Revenue-free statements do not show on the monthly statement

## Liquidated Damages for Late or Non-Payment of Periodic Monthly Statement

- Guidelines have been issued setting forth assessment of claims for liquidated damages (and the mitigation of those claims) for failure to pay or late pay of periodic monthly statement
- See Federal Register Notice (73 FR 61891, published 10/17/08)
- CBP discretion to take any of the following actions:
- Suspend the importer of record from participation in the Periodic Monthly Payment Statement test;
- Require the importer of record to pay estimated duties and fees on an entry-by-entry basis;
- Require the importer of record to file entry summary documentation with estimated duties and fees attached before merchandise is released from any CBP port.

## A2.2 Detail

- Trade testing for a limited number of “early adopters” is currently scheduled to start in February 2009
- Participation will be voluntary until all entry types can be submitted in ACE and sufficient Trade testing is completed
- Entry summary status, payment, liquidation and other applicable information for type 01 and type 11 entry summaries for ACE filers, will be interfaced between ACS and ACE
- ACE and ACS will not have the same set of edits and validations

**Notes:**
Self explanatory

## Edit modification

- In early 2008 CBP concluded that a significant number of edits would not be programmed in ACE
- Trade voiced concern – white papers, statistical evidence and metrics
- Resulted in CBP agreeing to add twenty four “High Priority” groups of edits
- The edits will not be delivered in time for the initial deployment of A2.2
- The edits will be in before ACE Summary filing is mandatory
- More information regarding the edits can be found in CSMS messages number 08-000091 which links to the May issue of the ACE Trade Account Owner newsletter.

## A2.2 Operational Impacts

- Allowing the trade to send entry type 01 and 11 entries to either ACE or ACS means that CBP and Trade will be operating in 2 systems
- Online maintenance of an entry summary will occur in the system of origin (either ACE or ACS); for example:
- The type 01 and 11 entry summaries filed in ACE will be maintained in ACE
- All other entries that are filed by the same filer, including 01 and 11 entry summaries filed in ACS, will be maintained in ACS
- An ACE filer will not have to file all of his type 01 and type 11 summaries in ACE.   So long as the filer is ACS certified, he can choose to transmit ANY of his entries via ACS
- Data for reports will be extracted from both ACE and ACS systems

- With A2.2 entry summaries will be processed in ACE through ABI using application identifier AE
- Entry summaries processed in ACE are required to be scheduled for a statement (Daily Statement or Periodic Daily Statement)
- ACS and ACE entry summaries will be commingled on the same daily statements
- Statement payments for entry summaries filed in ACS or ACE will be processed in ACS
- Entry summaries filed in ACS or ACE will be able to be removed from a statement using the statement delete (HP) application identifier in ACS
- If an ACE entry summary is removed from a statement the single entry payment will be processed in ACS

- Entry Summary Processing in A2.2

**Notes:**
Self explanatory

## Census Warning Override Process

- This is a new process by which the trade community can electronically correct Census warnings through the submission of an override code for entry summaries prior to or after receiving a Census warning message through ABI
- If you know the Census warning will happen you will be able to do a preemptive Census override before filing the entry
- If you get a Census warning due to an error in reporting you will be able to fix the entry then report the Census override
- If you file the entry and receive a Censes warning but my data is correct you will be able to file a Census override
- The detailed list of override codes will be provided as a part of Appendix H of the CATAIR

## Census Warning Overrides
