CBP posted an updated document describing ACE e-Manifest: Trucks that now includes information on data sharing with the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration (FMCSA). CBP said truck manifest data on ACE e-Manifest is being shared with FMCSA for prearrival safety checks. CBP said "the agencies are currently evaluating both the system data and functionality for any issues prior to sending status messages to the trade from ACE issues prior to sending status messages to the trade from ACE."

• Carrier’s current insurance does not meet the minimum level or better
• Driver does not have valid/current CDL or equivalent (MX or CA)
