CBP Outlines Informal ACE Entry Summary Procedures

Importers must report an Employer Identification Number, Social Security Number or CBP-assigned number for Ultimate Consignee identification on entries valued less than $2,500 for Automated Commercial Environment entry summaries, said CBP (here). The Ultimate Consignee's identification number may be reported as all zeroes on informal ACE entry summaries, it said. "Currently, ACE entry summary does not have the ability or fields to allow for reporting of the Ultimate Consignee's name and address" and there are "no changes to reporting requirements for the Ultimate Consignee's identification on informal entries processed in" ACE, it said.
