Proposed Rule: Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Electronic Export Manifest for Rail Cargo

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have proposed new regulations related to the export of goods by rail to Mexico and Canada. They are seeking feedback from the public related to these changes, due by March 14, 2025

SUMMARY: This document proposes a new regulation pursuant to the Trade Act of 2002 requiring the submission of export manifest data electronically to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) for cargo transported by rail for any train departing the United States. The proposed regulation would mandate the electronic transmission of rail export manifest information, identify the parties eligible to transmit information, and describe the time frames prior to departure of the train in which the information is due. This rule would enable CBP to address important cargo security concerns while providing efficiencies to the trade.
