The Office of International Trade has revised the external Business Rules and Process Documents, (version 2.2). A list of updates has been added at the end of the document in order to assist with finding the immediate updates.

Trade ACE supporting documents include the following:

•Business Rules and Process Document (Trade) Version 2.2 – public version which describes entry summary process in ACE.

•ACE Entry Summary Instructions Version 2.0 – entry summary field descriptions and data requirements.

•CBP Form 7501 TEST – transmittal form to be used during the ACE “test” to submit paper documents to CBP upon request.

•ACE Entry Summary Rejection Response – may be used by the trade to respond to a CBP initiated electronic entry summary rejection. (CBP users should never initiate this form for ACE rejects.)

The documents identified above may be found on the CBP website at: http://cbp.gov/xp/cgov/trade/trade_programs/entry_summary/ace/
