GETTING STARTED WITH CBP AUTOMATED SYSTEMS
To get started with CBP automated systems, there are two important components to
become familiar with:
1. ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE (EDI)
Communication framework that provides standards for exchanging data via any
electronic means.
2. ACE SECURE DATA PORTAL
Free, web-based access point designed to connect CBP, trade partners and
Partner Government Agencies.
The table below provides details on what activities may be conducted through
both components. Similarly, before filing data to ACE users should be familiar
with associated business processes, procedures, and rules that govern filing
data in ACE through both EDI and the Portal. These area available through the
ACE Entry Summary Process and Policy and ACE Cargo Release Business Process
pages. Additionally, videos and guides are available on the ACE Portal,
manifest, and reports through the ACE Training page.
