U.S. Customs and Border Protection is pleased to announce the expansion of the ACE Cargo Release Pilot (formerly known as Simplified Entry) to the specified 14 airports below, effective immediately. The ACE Cargo Release Pilot provides importers with the opportunity to file a streamlined set of data earlier in the import process. Entry filers can also update the entry information up to the point the conveyance arrives. This allows the Trade to make any necessary updates to the information being submitted, thus providing the best available information to CBP at the time of filing. CBP will be able to efficiently review shipment information much earlier in the supply chain ensuring that the goods are not held for issues that may be resolved pre-loading.
CBP can send an admissibility message earlier in the process when appropriate and if additional data is required, filers can resolve issues before the plane departs for the United States, or during transit, resulting in fewer goods being held at arrival. ACE Cargo Release also streamlines electronic transmission for the filer, and assists importers in finalizing cargo logistics. The carrier will submit the manifest/Air Cargo Advance Screening (ACAS) security filing (as appropriate), and the importer will submit the Simplified Entry data set.
Please see the Federal Register Notice published on February 3, 2014 (79 FR 6210) for additional information and eligibility criteria for participation in the test.
