To allow additional time for ACE statement testing, CBP is splitting ACE Deployment G, Release 3, into two separate components - 3A and 3B.

Deployment G, Release 3A (December 9, 2017):
On December 9, 2017, CBP plans to deliver ACE Deployment G, Release 3A. This deployment will include:
- e214 (electronic Foreign Trade Zone admission)
- Electronic filing of e214 transactions will be mandatory in ACE on December 9, 2017.
- Manufacturer ID (MID) Creation
- Availability in ACE Production environment of the new ACE Statement Reports REV-101, REV-102, REV-103 and REV-104.

NOTE: CBP will closely monitor the potential of a government funding lapse at midnight, December 8, 2017, and will provide further communication regarding any impact to this deployment as early as possible.

With respect to Statements, for validation purposes, both the new ACE Statement reports and the legacy ACE Account Revenue reports will be available to all members of the trade community in the ACE Reports production environment on December 9, 2017. From December 9, 2017 until January 6, 2018, the new ACE Statement reports will solely be for trade validation/testing and therefore not actionable.
The Automated Commercial System (ACS) will remain the system of record for all statements until Deployment G, Release 3B; the trade community will continue to file statements in ACS until January 6, 2018*.

Deployment G, Release 3B (January 6, 2018):
On January 6, 2018, CBP will deliver ACE Deployment G, Release 3B. At this point, ACE will become the system of record for all statements with the exception of Reconciliation statements*.
No later than January 13, 2018, CBP will deploy ACE Statement reports with ACE statement data. The legacy ACE Account Revenue reports universe will no longer be available.
*CBP will deliver Statements for Reconciliations as part of ACE Deployment G, Release 4 on February 24, 2018. CBP will deliver Statements for all other entries on January 6, 2018.

Trade users are encouraged to review the applicable Information Notices posted to CBP.gov/ACE. The Reports Information Notice includes details on the Statement reports, including the validation between the legacy and new statement reports.
