US Customs delays implementation of its mandatory automation schedules

US CUSTOMS has pushed back its timeline for mandatory use of the new Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) for US import transactions, The International Air Cargo Assocation (TIACA) informed its members.

Customs is allowing more time for "partner government agency' data - other government agencies that require data for import transactions, such as the Food and Drug Administration - to be provided through ACE, said the Tiaca circular. 



The revised ACE timelines are available at http://www.cbp.gov/trade/automated/ace-mandatory-use-dates.



"Similarly, US exporters that file electronically through AESDirect face a mandatory transition to ACE, which has been programmed to include an export portal," said the notice. 



US Customs also announced a revised timetable for that transition this week, with legacy AESDirect accounts beginning the transition on February 29. Additional information is available from the US Census Bureau at 1.800.549.0595 or via email at askaes@census.gov.
