Seamless ACE Support

The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) is the commercial trade processing system being developed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to facilitate trade while strengthening border security. ACE promises integrated online access through the ACE Secure Data Portal which connects CBP, the trade community and participating government agencies by providing a centralized online access point for communications and information related to cargo shipments. The CBP cites several statistics that show the increasing adoption of ACE technologies, including the activation of more than 17,000 ACE portal accounts, the payment of more than $40 billion in duties and fees through the ACE monthly statement process, and the collaboration of 46 Participating Government Agencies (PGAs) in ITDS.

Kewill's Customs provides seamless ACE support, allowing brokers to process entries using either ACE or ACS. The benefits of Kewill's integrated ACE functionality includes:

• improved account management
• periodic payments that can be delayed until the 15th of the following month
• faster electronic truck manifests that allow CBP to pre-screen shipments and carriers to self-file manifests via ACE portal, EDI, or using third-party brokers
• Entry Summary Filing including formal (type 01), consumption (type 11), and Anti-Dumping Countervailing Duty entries
• enhanced tracking of AD/CVD cases
• collecting and sharing of trade data via an inter-agency “single window” as part of the International Trade Data System (ITDS) program
