On January 4, 2014, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will be deploying the second of seven (A-G) planned deployments to the ACE Commercial Environment (ACE) in support of CBP's plan to complete core trade processing capabilities in ACE and decommission corresponding capabilities in legacy systems, by the end of 2016. Deployment B includes the following:

ACE Cargo Release

•Expansion of the ACE Cargo Release pilot to include ocean and rail manifest shipments
•Processing of In-bond transactions with partial quantities, completing In-Bond capability in the air, ocean and rail modes of transportation
•Build-out of ACE Cargo Release data, extending the Customs and Trade Automated Interface Requirements (CATAIR) to specify required data elements, syntax and format, enabling the build out for additional entry transactions

ACE Entry Summary

•ACE Entry Summary validations for simple duty calculations, i.e., entry summary lines with a single Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) classification

Partner Government Agency (PGA) Integration

•Expansion of the PG00 record to reduce data duplication by the trade filer
•Single Accept/Reject message for the filer for cargo release response from CBP and PGAs
