Customs published a friendly reminder in CSMS #11-000019 to advise the trade that effective 23 January 2011, the message formats will change slightly for ISF transmission (for the quantity and other modifications previously reported in the blog here). In the interim, CBP will provide an accept with warnings to give providers time to update their software to accommodate the change. There will be a future point (with ample warning) when the warnings will be replaced with rejects. If you see these warnings next week, be sure to notify your software/service provider so they can make the appropriate changes and avoid rejects in the future (which will have an impact on your compliance statistics!).
