U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published in the Federal Register on August 20, 2015 (80 FR 50644), a notice announcing plans to conduct the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Export Manifest for Vessel Cargo Test, a National Customs Automation Program (NCAP) test concerning ACE export manifest capability. As indicated below, the notice misstated the technical capability requirements for submitting data to CBP. The correct requirements are set forth below. CBP will be publishing a correction to the August 20, 2015 notice.

The August 20, 2015, notice stated that prospective ACE Export Manifest for Vessel Cargo Test participants must have the technical capability to electronically submit data to CBP and receive response message sets via Cargo-IMP, AIR CAMIR, XML, or Unified XML, and must successfully complete certification testing with their client representative. However, the correct acceptable message sets are Ocean CAMIR, ANSI X12, or Unified XML. Prospective ACE Export Manifest for Vessel Cargo Test participants must have the technical capability to electronically submit data to CBP and receive response message sets via Ocean CAMIR, ANSI X12, or Unified XML, and must successfully complete certification testing with their client representative.

Please note that all other information in the August 20, 2015, notice is still applicable.
