CBP will require use of ACE for processing electronic foreign trade zone admission applications and duty deferral entry and entry summary filings starting Sept. 16, it said in two notices. CBP previously announced the deployments as part of its plan to phase in the remaining ACE deployments (see 1707270038). The FTZ notice also "clarifies that the list of data elements required for the electronic FTZ admission application must include the 'Zone ID,'" CBP said.

The Document Imaging System "can be used as an interim procedure for Immediate Delivery (ID) procedures needed for specific shipments through ports of entry," CBP said in a CSMS message. "ID procedures require a letter to be on file at the port of entry" and "letters requesting ID procedures can be sent via ACE using DIS," the agency said. "Trade will use DIS to provide the ID procedure request to the port on an as needed basis or as requested by the port of entry. The ID procedure request will need to accompany the specific entry number with a DIS image."

CBP will open its tests of pre-departure manifest filing for exports within ACE to more participants, it said in three separate notices. The notices for vessel cargo, rail cargo and air cargo all allow for an expansion of the tests that began in 2015 (see 1507090011, 1508190007 and 1509080017). Previously limited to nine participants, each of the tests is "now open to all eligible applicants," CBP said. The agency also made some of the previously required data elements optional for each mode.
