CBP Reports Another Jump in ACE Cargo Release Submission Rate

CBP saw "the largest percentage increase ever" in the cargo release Automated Commercial Environment submission rate in February, the agency said (here). During February, the ACE submission rate for cargo release moved up 11 percent to 31.2 percent, CBP said. That increase beats out the previous largest increase, set the month before (see 1603040030). So far, 182 of top 200 baseline filers have filed at least one cargo release in ACE, the agency said. CBP considers the percentages an important measure of readiness for mandatory use of ACE (see 1510190017). Unique filers for Partner Government Agency pilots also grew from January to February, up from 469 to 823, CBP said.
