This message is being provided to the trade to introduce and disseminate several documents to assist with processing Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) entry summaries.
> Business Rules and Process Document (Trade) Version 1.1
The Business Rules and Process Document outlines entry summary processing in ACE. The functionality delivered in ESAR A2.2 sets the foundation for a true electronic system of record keeping surrounding entry summary processing. A change of this significance requires revised operational policies and procedures and this document will address those changes. Links to program and policy documents are included, as well.
> ACE Entry Summary Instructions Version 1.1
The ACE Entry Summary Instructions document is similar to the CBP Form 7501 Instructions. It is organized in the manner in which the data is transmitted and stored in ACE. Descriptions of the entry summary data fields and links to program and policy documents are included in the preparation instructions.
> CBP Form 7501 TEST – Document/Payment Transmittal
This “Test” 7501 transmittal may be used by the trade to submit documents requested or monies due related to an ACE entry summary. This document will be identified as a link to the forms site.
> ACE Entry Summary Rejection Response
This response template may be used by the trade to respond to a CBP initiated electronic entry summary rejection. CBP users should not use this form to initiate a manual rejection for ACE entry summaries.
The documents identified above may be found on the CBP website at:
