  3. Required data elements are omitted, or coded information is invalid;
  4. ACE bill of lading or air waybill is not on file in ACE;
  5. The in-bond only covers a portion of the manifested quantity. (Remainder should be verified and entries filed simultaneously);

  7. The carrier listed on the CBPF 7512 is not in ACE;
  8. The CBPF 7512 is incomplete and/or is missing information.
    In-Bond Deletion – Amendment
    Updates or corrections required to an in-bond application must be done electronically, however, a specific amendment function does not exist. In order to correct or amend information provided on an in-bond application, the in-bond must be deleted and re-added providing the corrected information using the same in-bond number. Future programming enhancements will be released to allow for post-filing amendments of existing in-bonds.

    Cancellation Reasons
    An in-bond document can be cancelled for the following reasons:
    • The in-bond movement is cancelled. Broker will file a consumption entry, warehouse entry, FTZ admission, the cargo will remain in the bonded warehouse, will be placed in General Order, etc.;
    • Change of the in-bond type (e.g., IE, to T&E);
    • Change of the in-bond entry number;
    • Change of Cartage Company or Common Carrier liable for movement of the cargo;
    • Two brokers filed different in-bond entries for the same cargo.
    Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Refusals
    FDA controlled merchandise, such as food, drugs, cosmetics and perfume, may be rejected by FDA after an importer has filed a CBP consumption entry. This could be a partial or complete rejection of the quantity on the consumption entry.
    • The CBPF 7512 description should say FDA REFUSAL – EXPORT ONLY;
    • A copy of the refusal notice should be attached in order to verify the quantity refused admission by the agency;
    • Cargo must be exported on an IE (or T&E if allowed by FDA) under CBP or FDA
    supervision;
    General Order Merchandise
    When an IT contains a GO number, the CBP officer must look at the date of importation. When the date of importation is greater than six months, the IT movement should be denied. Either a consumption entry must be filed or the shipment must be exported, in accordance with 19 CFR 127.14(b). When the freight is going to be exported, it must move under an IE, and all fees must have been paid prior to authorizing the movement.
