US Automated Broker Interface (ABI)

Transmit Census Warning Override

The Census Warning Override transaction provides Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Automated Broker Interface (ABI) users the capability to submit a Census Warning Override code if warranted upon receipt of a Census warning.
A Census warning may occur if the entry summary data (for example, gross shipping weight, quantity, or value) falls outside of pre-existing limits established by the Census Bureau.
Census warnings do not always mean an entry summary is in error, just that the data provided in the entry summary is unlikely to be true.
  • If a Census warning is received, review the entry summary data and determine the next course of action to resolve the Census warning.
  • If the originally transmitted data is correct, no changes to the entry summary data need to be made.
  • If the originally transmitted data is incorrect, replace the discrepant data through the use of the entry summary transaction. Each tab is covered in more thorough detail in the above sections of this User Guide.
After all data is confirmed as correct, the next step is to transmit the appropriate override code to resolve the Census warning for acceptance by the Census Bureau. Users should only use the Census Warning Override transaction for entry summaries containing an unresolved Census warning.
