CBP Reports Jump in ACE Cargo Release Submission Rate

CBP saw "the largest percentage increase ever" on the cargo release Automated Commercial Environment submission rate in January, the agency said (here). During January, the ACE submission rate for cargo release moved up 7 percent to 20.4 percent, CBP said. CBP considers the percentages an important measure of readiness for mandatory use of ACE (see 1510190017). CBP also reported that entry summaries filed in ACE fell by 7 percent, while the percentage of entry summaries filed in the Automated Commercial System grew by 1 percent. Unique filers for Partner Government Agency pilots also grew from December to January, up from 114 to 469, CBP said.
