The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) is the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shipment reporting regulation. Highway carriers are required to send crew, trucks, trailer and shipment details over the internet to CBP before reaching the U.S. border. ACE requires carriers to submit electronic manifest submissions, and is accepted by CBP one hour in advance (non-FAST shipments) and 30 minutes prior (for FAST shipments) to truck arrival at first U.S. port of entry.

Submitting eManifests

   
ACE has been mandatory for US border crossings since 2007, and CrimsonLogic has helped countless trucks to fulfill this regulatory requirement. Our ACE service offers a number of ways in which carriers can submit eManifests to CBP.
  • Web: An online account that stores all your drivers, tractors, trailers, consignees/shippers plus all your trips and shipment details. Many enhanced features on the web account are available to ease your data entry, such as email alerts on responses received from CBP, shipment and trip templates, manifest print and many more.
  • FAX2EDI: FAX-TO-EDI solution is a program for carriers with no access to PC or internet access for eManifest submissions. It is also an option for carriers to use as after-hours shipments or simply for backup purposes.
  • Integration: If operating with an in-house dispatch program, CrimsonLogic also offers data integration that can seamlessly transfer manifest data and submit directly to CBP.

Two-way eManifest Submission

   
WebCustoms subscribers that have activated both the ACE and ACI modules can enjoy an added benefit - our eManifest Conversion Tool. For every eManifest created, the Conversion Tool will create a mirrored eManifest for the return trip. This feature is a key benefit to having both ACI and ACE on the same system, enabling users to save time, reduce workloads and eliminate clerical errors that may occur with repetitive data entry.
