ACE: Updated Timeline for Mandatory Transition to ACE for Electronic Entry and Summary Filing

September 1, 2015

As announced by U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Office of Trade Relations, over the past several months CBP has worked closely with partner government agencies (PGAs), the White House, and trade stakeholders to deploy key functions of the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) and meet major milestones set forth by the Presidential Executive Order 13659, Streamlining the Export/Import Process for America’s Businesses.

While significant capabilities have been deployed, concerns of stakeholder readiness have necessitated a reassessment of our current timelines.  Department-level Deputy Secretaries have collectively decided to allow additional time for testing and transition to ACE for entry and entry summary filing.  November 1st begins a transition period for electronic entry and entry summary filings in ACE.

This has been excerpted from a 1 September 2015 release by CBP and is available in its entirety at:
