U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published a Federal Register Notice today announcing its plan to modify the National Customs Automation Program (NCAP) test concerning Cargo Release functionality in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE).
Originally, the test was known as the Simplified Entry Test because the test simplified the entry process by reducing the number of data elements required to obtain release for cargo transported by air.
The test continues to be modified to provide more capabilities to test participants allowing CBP to deliver enhanced functionality. This notice modifies the ACE Cargo Release test to include expansion to the ocean and rail modes of transportation. This notice invites more participants to join the test.
