CBP Warns Filers Not Ready for ACE Could Face Delays

CBP "is focused on getting remaining software vendors certified for entry filing" ahead of the Nov. 1 transition date for cargo release and summary filing in the Automated Commercial Environment, said CBP (here). "Filers who are not prepared to file entries/entry summaries in ACE on November 1 could face delays in cargo processing, impacting release of goods at the border since entries/entry summaries not filed in ACE will be filed as paper transactions," the agency said. So far, 36 of 38 software vendors are certified for entry summary and 21 are certified for entry, CBP said.
