The user guide contains step by step instructions for creating, viewing and maintaining ocean conveyance records in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). Please note you may need to copy and paste the URL into your web browser.
Effective September 29, 2012, ACE will be the only U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) approved Electronic Data Interchange for transmitting required advance ocean and rail manifest information to CBP. After September 29, 2012 ocean carriers should be using the ACE Portal functionality to add all new conveyance records and to edit any that are under their ACE account. If you have not established your FREE ACE Portal Account, you need to apply for an ACE Portal Account now. The ACE Portal Application is available on CBP.gov and may be submitted electronically.
During the transition period between now and September 29, 2012, ocean carriers need to become familiar with the ocean conveyance functionality in ACE. At this time carriers should continue to send their Lloyds email requests to ams.sea.lloyds@dhs.gov when it is known that the vessel is not on file with CBP or if any of the following information changes: Name, Owner, Flag or Registry, Draft and Tonnage (Gross/Net).
