The Automated Broker Interface (ABI) is the only approved method available for filing entry and entry summaries in ACE. ACE ABI Customs and Trade Automated Interface Requirements (CATAIR)-developed software is available through either a CBP-approved ABI software vendor, a self-developer, or a service center.
The ACE Secure Data Portal does not have entry and entry summary filing capabilities, nor are there any plans for such capabilities. However, the ACE Secure Data Portal does offer key features such as (1) creating blanket declarations used in entry summary transactions, (2) receiving and responding to CBP forms and uploading solicited documents, (3) running ACE reports, and more.
For more information about ACE Entry Summary filing, please contact your CBP Client Representative or ABI software provider. You may also visit the “Entry Summary” page of CBP.gov/ACE and click on “ACE Entry Summary Process and Policy.” The ACE ABI CATAIR is available at the following URL:
