The below was taken in part from the NCBFAA:

The NCBFAA recently submitted questions to Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regarding Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) filing issues, and received the following responses:

• Post Summary Correction (PSC) Filing: For entries that are within the PSC filing window and in the appropriate status, is filing a PSC the only available corrective action for the broker/filer to resolve these errors?
  • CBP responded, “Yes, please use a PSC to correct entries prior to filing the CAPE declaration.” Additionally, in these cases, is PSC Header Reason Code H99 (Other/Not Otherwise Specified) the correct code to use? “Yes, ‘H99 – Data Change-Other’ is an acceptable code.”
• Entries Outside the PSC Window: What guidance does CBP provide to the trade community when these errors are identified on entries that are no longer eligible for PSC filing?
  • CBP responded, “These entries will need to wait for another CAPE deployment. We have captured this scenario on our list of issues to address for future CAPE updates.”
• IEEPA HTS Line Error: For the error “Goods Value Amount Not Allowed on IEEPA HTS Line,” would CBP consider implementing a programmatic solution to move the value to the appropriate Chapter 1–97 HTS line?
  • CBP responded, “We understand that this is an issue but cannot commit to anything at this time.”
• The HTS Relationship / Sequence Mismatch and Unable to Calculate Duty sometimes seem to resolve themselves on subsequent CAPE filings without any updates from the trade side. If we find that there is no error in the HTS relationship or sequence for a failed CAPE entry submission is the appropriate step to email IEEPARefunds@cbp.dhs.gov?
  • CBP responded, “Yes. The CBP CAPE team is diligently working through the emails in that inbox.”

In regards to the HTS Relationship / Sequence Mismatch section, if you receive this error, please first try to resubmit only those entries. If,  after resubmission,  you receive the same error code, please reach out to your RIM representative to review those entries for correctness. If the entry is indeed correct, you will need to send an email to the IEEPA refunds email. 

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as developments arise. If you have any further questions or need additional support, please reach out to your RIM Representative.
