U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION (CBP) WILL HOST THE FIRST ACE
EXCHANGE CONFERENCE IN CHICAGO, ILLINOIS ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 15
THROUGH THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 2006. THE EVENT IS OPEN TO THE
PUBLIC.
THE AUTOMATED COMMERCIAL ENVIRONMENT (ACE) IS THE NEW CARGO
PROCESSING SYSTEM THAT WILL EVENTUALLY REPLACE THE AUTOMATED
COMMERCIAL SYSTEM (ACS). ONCE ACE IS FULLY IMPLEMENTED, ALL
RELATED CBP FUNCTIONS WILL BE SUPPORTED FROM A SINGLE COMMON
USER INTERFACE.
THE GOAL OF THE ACE EXCHANGE IS TO EDUCATE IMPORTERS, BROKERS,
AND TRUCK CARRIERS ON NEW LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS THAT
WILL BE IMPLEMENTED WITH ACE. THIS CONFERENCE WILL PROVIDE THE
PUBLIC WITH IMPORTANT ACE RELATED INFORMATION SUCH AS BENEFITS,
IMPACTS TO BUSINESS OPERATIONS, AND HOW TO APPLY FOR
PARTICIPATION IN ACE PROGRAMS.
THE FIRST PART OF THIS CONFERENCE (AUGUST 15TH -16TH) WILL FOCUS
ON ISSUES IMPORTANT TO IMPORTERS AND BROKERS. THE SECOND PART OF
THE CONFERENCE (AUGUST 16TH - 17TH) WILL FOCUS ON TOPICS OF
INTEREST TO THE TRUCK CARRIER COMMUNITY. THE TOPICS ARE GEARED
TOWARDS COMPANIES WHO ARE NOT CURRENTLY PARTICIPATING IN ACE.
ACE APPLICATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED DURING ALL THREE DAYS OF THE
CONFERENCE AND CBP REPRESENTATIVES WILL BE ON HAND TO HELP
ANSWER QUESTIONS.

YOU SIGN UP EARLY AS THERE ARE A LIMITED NUMBER OF SPACES
