Effective August 1, 2016, the ACE_STB@cbp.dhs.gov mailbox will be deactivated. For ACS Entries followed by ACE Entry Summaries, or ACE Entry Summaries Certified for ACS Cargo Release, where a Single Transaction Bond (STB) is used, the STB will not be accepted for upload to the ACE_STB mailbox as of August 1st. Currently, STBs for these Entry/Entry Summary types are uploaded to the Document Imaging System (DIS) via the ACE_STB mailbox.

To minimize any issues that may arise for the scenarios listed above, please ensure that STBs, with effective dates of July 22, 2016 or before, are uploaded into the DIS, via the ACE_STB@cbp.dhs.gov mailbox prior to the August 1, 2016 deactivation date.

With the upcoming mandatory use date of July 23, 2016 for ACE Cargo Release and corresponding ACE Entry Summaries, ACE will be the sole CBP-authorized EDI system for the filing of all electronic entries and corresponding entry summaries. As a result, all STBs will be transmitted electronically via ACE eBond.

After August 1, 2016, those STBs with an effective date on or before July 22, 2016 that have not been uploaded to DIS, can be submitted to the eBondtest@dhs.gov email box. STBs with an effective date of July 23, 2016 or after will not be accepted to any Bond Team email box.

Any questions or concerns regarding this message can be directed to Le’Vette Trabue, Surety Bonds and Accounts, Revenue Division; Office of Administration, at (317) 614-4441 or via email to Le’Vette.M.Trabue@dhs.gov.
