Attention software developers: The new ACE Cargo / Manifest / Entry Release Query CATAIR chapter has
been amended. The new version will be posted to the Draft Chapters for Future Capabilities as soon as
possible. See the link below.
http://www.cbp.gov/trade/ace/catair
Background:
During initial trade testing in the Certification environment an issue with the naming convention for the
input and output records was discovered. This has resulted in the necessity to re-designate the record
identifiers; the application codes for both input/output will remain the same CQ/C1. The changes are
extensive in that they impact the input record and all output records. Fortunately the changes only
involve the record identifiers and not the data itself nor the programming logic. A complete list of the
changes made to the ACE CATAIR chapter follow:
