S. Customs and Border Protection issued a notice Jan. 28 stating that the Automated Broker Interface has not yet been updated to accept importer security filings when the remote location filing prototype is used to transmit both the entry/entry summary data and the ISF at the same time. CBP states that it is aware of this issue and working to correct the ABI programming but that in the meantime RLF entries should not be used to transmit unified ISF data.
