ACE Cargo Release
5
Enhances cargo security◦ Allows CBP and the trade to identify and address potential
risks earlier in the process◦ Does not provide results until “Wheels-Up” (Bill match)
Streamlines the release of cargo◦ Earlier risk assessment decisions ◦ Earlier and more detailed messaging
Reduces transaction costs◦ Greater predictability; allows importers to make logistical
arrangements in advance of arrival◦ Reduces “exceptions” needing special processing after arrival◦ Opportunity to streamline broker operations processes due to
streamlined messaging and data submission
ACE Cargo Release Benefits
Simplified entry streamlines the data elements on CBP’s 3461 entry form
This promotes the concept of “the owner of the data knows the data best,” resulting in more accurate information
After the streamlining, the following simplified entry data set replaces the CBP 3461:
ACE Cargo Release Data
7
Only Air, Ocean, Rail and Truck modes of transportation
Only Type 01 and 11 consumption entries
Only a continuous bond and an electronically-filed single transaction bond may be used to support the entry filing at this time; If the port of entry is different from the port of unlading, no release will be issued unless an In-Bond is found to be associated with the bill of lading in the CBP system.
If an In-Bond number is provided in the entry submission, the Planned Port of Entry must also be provided
No other government agency requirements
Use of CBP-created Encrypted Number [Format: ‑CCCCCCCCCCC] for Consignee is not accommodated for the SE transaction at this time
Simplified entry and summary transactions must be filed in ACE
ACE Cargo Release Requirements
ACE Cargo Release Process
Filer must be accepted into the Cargo Release Pilot Fewer data elements – 27 down to 12 (for now) Two-step process, or can certify for release via summary Commercial entity reporting
◦ Buyer◦ Seller◦ Manufacturer – not MID, transmit name and address
Time frame – transmission prior to departure is the goal Updates permitted – may file “replace” data until the conveyance has
been arrived and released EDI Deletion/Cancellation Requests Paperless environment – no 3461-dealing with non automated
partners Document Imaging System – used to support the paperless
environment◦ Currently supported through an email transmission of requested documents
9
What’s Different?
Initial response – edit validation – transmission accepted or rejected
If SE makes match to ACAS, can provide preliminary status m(air environment)
If no ACAS, linked to AAMS ( M1 in Ocean) If neither on file – receive status as no match, and will be
suspended until ACAS or AAMS sent ( Ocean M1)
Types of ACE Cargo Release Messages
1. ACE Cargo Release Add Status Message 2. Conditional Cargo Release Processing Status Messages 3. Bill Match Dispositions Status Messages

Status Notifications
Prior to arrival, you may update the data, If the SE transmitted a bad MAWB/HAWB causing no bill
match:◦ If freight has not departed, may delete entry and re-file◦ If freight has departed, do B/L update
If everything has been transmitted in advance, and in good order, once the carrier transmits the flight departure message (FDM) in AAMS, you will receive a release status message.
Release date update message would be sent upon conveyance arrival:◦ 10-day clock starts with conveyance arrival if released upon
arrival◦ 10-day clock starts with release date if release issued after
conveyance arrival

Status Messages Bill Match Dispositions
Refer to: CATAIR Chapter – ACE Cargo Release / SE ACE Cargo Release / SE Status Notification
15
ACE Cargo Release Transmission ◦ No need for Quantity, Firms Code, Planed Port of Entry (unless PGA/Or you
transmit IT#), Flight / Date etc.◦ In the case of where the entered quantity will be less than the full manifest
quantity, the bill of lading Quantity is a required data element (i.e. 100 PKGS: 60 PKGS Entry / 40 PKGS Inbond)
ACE Cargo Release Notification, upon bill match, will return:
◦ Bill Status Details (Departed/Arrived)◦ Flight Details◦ Date Details◦ Manifest Quantity Details
ACE Entry Summary transmission ◦ ACE Cargo Release notification will provide much of the needed transportation
details to file the Summary and prepare Delivery Order◦ ACE Entry Summary must include all required data transmitted today ◦ Manage Entry Summary Transmission if filing two step process
ACE Cargo Release Tips
◦ Port Details◦ IT Detail (IT#, Ports,
Dates)◦ Split Indicator ◦ Split Details
16
Split Shipment◦ Cargo tendered to the carrier as a single shipment, under a single bill of lading for
carriage on a single conveyance, and subsequently split by the carrier for transport on multiple conveyances
No need to FAX/email CBP to post each part of the split. The current manual process is very labor intensive for Trade and CBP. Significant change and improvement to the process
Split Indicator decision time:1. Hold All - Release Entry when all cargo qualifies for release (all parts arrive)
On initial transmission, do not send Split indicator (CBP assumes Hold All) No need to send an “Update” once you are notified of split if you wish to Hold All Filer will not see a release until all parts have arrived. Release for each part will post
automatically Cargo Release Notification will show SPIT SHIPMENT RELEASE PENDING until all parts arrive
2. Immediate Delivery Procedures - Request Special Permit to release cargo incrementally Send SE “Update” to change Split Indicator to “2” If Split indicator “2’ is transmitted prior to arrival, entry date will be set to when the first portion
of the split shipment has arrived, if Updated after a portion of the splits have arrived, release date will be the entry date.
Release for each part that has arrived will post automatically 10 days for all parts to arrive. More than 10 days from release date or arrival (whatever is
latest), must do a new entry for the balance. (“Split Bill not Eligible for Release” message will be received)
ACE Air Cargo Release Tips
17
ACE Cargo Release (SE) Updates are sent as a “U” Update action code
The Update code is used to correct or update:
◦ Bill of Lading information ◦ Report specific transportation information◦ Change the “Split” indicator
(Similar to the Bill of Lading update in ACS)
Update to the bill information is allowed up to 15 days after the cargo has arrived
When filer only needs to update the bill of lading and specific transportation information, use the Update submission rather than the Replace submission as there is an important distinction between and Update and a Replace
◦ “U” Update does not need to be reviewed by CBP◦ “R” Replace has to be reviewed by CBP
ACE Cargo Release Update
18
ACE Cargo Release (SE) Correction requests are sent as a “R” Replace action code
◦ Corrections are transmitted to CBP electronically for data elements other than bill of lading information
◦ Eliminates Pen & Ink/Old & New manual correction by CBP
◦ Correction request must include filer contact name and phone number that can discuss the correction
◦ NO correction after both arrival and release
◦ Filer will receive “Replace Request Pending” status
◦ Correction must be actioned by CBP before filer can submit a subsequent correction
ACE Cargo Release Corrections
19
Corrections will run through selectivity targeting
CBP system will provide visibility to CBP Officer of each data element that has been replaced compared to the original data transmitted
Correction accepted by CBP:
◦ Filer will receive a new disposition message (SO)◦ Cargo Release will have a new “version”◦ Correction is now the “active” entry record
Correction Rejected:
◦ CBP will send a Reject Reason Code ◦ Look for Comments
Make Sure Entry Summary is updated as necessary
ACE Cargo Release Corrections
20
ACE Cargo Release SE Deletion/Cancellation requests are sent as a “D” (Delete/Cancel) action code
◦ Send contact name and number of person who can discuss the cancellation
◦ If the Delete/Cancel action is submitted prior to bill match, ACE Cargo Release will be Deleted and entry number can be reused for another entry submission
◦ If “D” action is submitted after bill match, this becomes a Cancellation, and request will be reviewed by CBP prior to accepting or rejecting the cancellation request
CBP will process Cancellation or Reject Request
Cancellation Requests Rejections:
◦ CBP will be able to return standard messages as well as customized comments.◦ If Request is rejected, a new Request must be submitted to pursue a cancellation. Each
Request submission stands on its own
ACE Cargo Release Cancellations
21
If an ACE Entry Summary has been transmitted:
◦ ACE Entry Summary is in Trade Control
Send SE Deletion/Cancellation “D” action Delete Entry Summary Transmission
◦ ACE Entry Summary is in CBP Control
Send cancellation request to CBP per the ACE Entry Summary Business Rules. When that Entry Summary is cancelled, the ACE Cargo Release transaction will automatically
be cancelled
DIS submission related to the correction / cancellation request:
◦ Send Documents in advance of the submission of the correction / cancellation request. DIS should include the Filer-assigned [DIS] Reference number which links it to the specific correction / cancellation request
◦ This reference number should be unique for the associated entry number and should not be repeated for other DIS submissions for the same entry number, including the entry summary and other post summary submissions

ACE Cargo Release Submitting Documentation to CBP
24
Entries that require a single transaction bond must email a scanned copy of the STB to the revenue division, office of administration mailbox at the following email address:
CBP will return inadequate STBs to the filer via email for corrective action
Some software vendors may have built an automated function to email this if you have an automated SEB program
Some sureties have this function in their on line web based bond customer interface-check with your surety
Single Transaction Bonds
Participating Government Agencies (PGAs)
26
CBP is prioritizing onboarding of those PGAs with release decision authority to ensure they are integrated with Cargo Release by the time it becomes mandatory
PGAs who do not play a role in determining cargo admissibility, but will be receiving data, will be onboarded by the end of 2016
Additional HTS Flags added in the ABI Tariff Updates
PGA with release authority:
◦ Food and Drug Administration (BTA)◦ Environmental Protection Agency(TSCA) (Insecticide, Fungicide) ◦ Fish and Wildlife Service ◦ Food Safety Inspection Service (Meat & Poultry) ** (Pilot) ◦ FMCSA (EPA Vehicles and Engines) (Ozone Depleting Substances) ** (Pilot)◦ Plant Protection Quarantine
