With all of the trade news and activity that has already taken place this year, it’s hard to believe it is only June! The horizon looks just as busy with upcoming deadlines in the ongoing in-bond implementation and additional anticipated developments in ACE.
If your firm is an FTZ operator or user, you know firsthand the significant impact that ACE and PGA reporting requirements are having on our industry. By all accounts, the past 12 months have been a busy, often confusing time that’s been full of changes.
As the mandated transition to CBP’s Automated Commercial Environment (“ACE”) looms, trade has become all-too-familiar with the CBP catch phrase “Don’t Wait, Migrate!”, encouraging trade users to embrace the use of the ACE Portal.
Important Dates:
2/28/16—Mandatory filing of all electronic entries and entry summaries in ACE including 06 Entries (ACS will be decommissioned for entry/entry filing)
July/16—e214 transitioned from ACS to ACE
Sept/15—CATAIR for entry (cargo release) in ACE published by CBP
Oct/15—CATAIR for entry summary in ACE published by CBP
The long anticipated transition to ACE for entry summary and cargo release is just around the corner. The transition scheduled for November 1, 2015 will also include the opportunity to interface by electronic means with multiple and various Partner Government Agencies (“PGAs”) that will soon be on- boarding with ACE.
