Effective immediately, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will begin to deploy new team codes for the Centers of Excellence and Expertise (Centers) within the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) modules. Implementation will occur over a period of weeks.
The new team codes will follow an alphabetical format, e.g. ABC, where the first letter will represent a Center, and the secondary and tertiary letters will be used by the Centers to direct transactions to a specific work unit or team. Legacy numerical team codes will automatically be replaced on newly submitted entry summaries and phased out as existing entries liquidate. As such, existing team codes will remain in effect for existing transactions.
The following team codes are representative of each Center (X’s are used as placeholders):
|
Center of Excellence and Expertise
|
Center ID

No action needs to be taken by the trade community to effect this change, and transactions will continue to be processed as usual under the new team code format.
CBP.gov will be updated at the beginning of next week to provide points of contact within the Centers for the new team codes that will be in use.
Questions regarding team code assignments of accounts or specific transactions should be directed to the appropriate Center’s email inbox. Other questions pertaining to these updates may be directed to CEE@cbp.dhs.gov.
