CBP Reminds Ocean Carriers, Software Developers of Coming M1 Transition

CBP issued a reminder that the three-month transition has begun for ACE e-Manifest: Rail and Sea. Effective Sept. 29, ACE will be the only approved EDI for transmitting required advance rail and sea cargo information and ABI in-bond transactions to CBP, it said. As of June 29, 91% of ocean carriers and 70% of ABI software developers impacted by the transition to M1 have either completed or are in the on boarding process. Those that aren't in the process need to contact a client representative, said CBP. All rail carriers are either in production or currently testing.
