In late March/early April, CBP successfully completed the third of seven deployments of new ACE features. This deployment marks continued progress in CBP’s plan to deliver all core trade processing capabilities in ACE by the end of 2016. Features in this recent deployment include:



- Expansion of the ACE Cargo Release pilot to include:



o In-bond movements and partial quantities for ocean and rail shipments,

o Basic processing for truck shipments,

o Ability for filers to certify for ACE Cargo Release from their ACE Entry

Summary record for air, ocean and rail shipments (Certified from Summary),



- New ACE entry summary validations for Merchandise Processing Fee and

Complex Duty Calculations (i.e., those entry summary lines with two Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) classifications),and



- Migration of the Automated Export System (AES) to the ACE platform for CBP and PGA users, and support for new Census Bureau and Bureau of Industry and Security regulations.



CBP and trade filers have successfully tested the new Cargo Release transactions for ocean shipments as well as the Partner Government Agency (PGA) Message Set transactions for the pilot with the Environmental Protection Agency, targeted to begin later this month. Trade filers interested in taking advantage of the new Cargo Release capabilities or participating in the PGA Message Set pilot should contact their Client Rep.
