In ACE, which of the following data elements CANNOT be changed through a Post Summary Correction (PSC) for any entry type?
How to get there
ACE Business Rules and Process Document, 6.5: In-Eligible ChangesData elements that cannot be changed for any entry type:
• Importer of Record (The importer or broker must submit a CBP Form 3347 and CBP will make the appropriate changes in ACE. Once completed, the filer may transmit a PSC to correct any necessary entry summary data.)
• Consolidated summary indicator · Port of Entry · … · Date of Entry
• Importer of Record (The importer or broker must submit a CBP Form 3347 and CBP will make the appropriate changes in ACE. Once completed, the filer may transmit a PSC to correct any necessary entry summary data.)
• Consolidated summary indicator · Port of Entry · … · Date of Entry
The importer of record is the first item on the never-changeable list: B.
Why the other choices are wrong
A) Entry Type: limited, but not banned. BRPD 6.6: "The only permissible changes to entry types that can be made via a PSC are a change from entry type 01 to 03, and a change from entry type 03 to 01." Because some change is possible, it isn't a "cannot be changed for any entry type" element.
C) HTSUS classification and D) Commercial invoice value: core PSC corrections. These are exactly the kind of data a PSC exists to fix.
Tip
IOR change = CBP Form 3347 (Declaration of Owner) first, then a PSC for any follow-on corrections. Form 3347 is only for formal entries. For informal entries, the IOR can't be changed at all.
