CBP deployed new capabilities for updating customs broker employee lists to its modernized ACE Portal on Feb. 2, CBP said in a CSMS message. New functionalities include an individual licensed broker indicator for broker employees, as well as the capability to “bulk upload” up to 200 employees at a time, instead of the previous 50. A “pending” status will be displayed to show the bulk upload is in progress. A new column on the broker employee list will now display an employee end date, and the portal will now check for duplicate Social Security numbers when creating an employee record, preventing the creation of new records with duplicate SSNs, CBP said. Brokers are now required to report all employees by Feb. 17 (see 2212190056).

This may include conducting due diligence on their supply chain and implementing compliance programs.”

For China-origin entries after March 18, where the Chinese manufacturer ID is transmitted but the name and address of the manufacturer does not include the postal code, brokers and filers “will have the ability to input [that] information, and they can then input the postal code field that's missing,” Woodson said.
