We just joined the ACE pilot. I heard some companies are disappointed in the data. Does anyone have comments on the data available through ACE?

Have ACE participants found that participation in the program has increased scruntiny by Customs? Or, is just the opposite true?

I would like recommendation from members of the membership with multiple manufacturing locations on how they file their hard copy entry packages. We have about 40 US locations. All of our entry packages are filed at our central logistics department by location. When the packages arrive information including the entry number and delivery location is […]

Could the membership forward a copy, or link, of the May 15/2006 Phase 4 requirement. As well, comments/suggestions on getting carriers to understand the reality to apply ASAP! Further, those who have EDI capabilities, what are you doing regarding this Phase and the soon Mandatory Phase 5 of the eManifest: Trucks? This is just around […]

Question: Does anyone know which ACE report I can use to determine the total amount of duty and fees paid for the previous 12 months? I was using the “Importer Activity Summary – Number of Entries and Value” found under Importer Quick Views tab. However, I have just discovered (thanks to the friendly people at […]

QUESTION ON ACE ACH DUTY REFUNDS: We are recent participants in the Periodic duty payment process but I was not involved with the filing of the documentation with Customs. I have asked many people if they are receiving an email on duty refunds and nobody I have asked is aware of this part of the […]

CBP sends out the “Courtesy Notice of Entries Scheduled to Liquidate” as a hard copy via mail and we’re wondering what the practical use is. We are a high volume importer and it doesn’t seem worth the time to examine this report too closely. It would be more efficient to be able to run an […]

Can someone out there provide me with an explanation for code “021” that appears in the column labeled “Other Recon Ind” on my ACE AM008 Entry Summary Line Detail reports. I am familiar with codes 001 – 007 plus the Yes/No code for flagged entries, but no one I’ve contacted seems to have an explanation […]

Our company recently gained ACE access. Is there a simplistic guideline to what information we can access. I would like to see all clearance information for a specific time frame. Is that possible? Someone suggested that only my broker can pull this information. Is this true?
