U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is advising that any carriers who have their type 2 carrier bond obligated for ACE Truck generated in-bonds not use the new ACE “In-bond Authorization” function at this time.



ACE Truck application has not been enhanced at this time to function with the new “in-bond Authorization” file in ACE M1 and therefore for ACE Truck created in- bonds the system may accept a in-bond shipment in ACE truck but will not issue the movement authorized message.



This could result in a truck or shipment being delayed at the border until the issue is resolved. If the trade uses the QP functionality there should be no issues as all QP in-bonds use the ACE M1 “In-bond Authorization” function and therefore if the in-bond is accepted the movement authorized message will be generated as normal.



CBP will issue a new CSMS when the functionality can be used for truck in-bond movements.
