CBP Lists ACE and Cargo Release Issues from TLC/TSN Events
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has issued an “Action Item” Final Report from the June Trade Leadership Council (TLC) Conference1 and Trade Support Network (TSN) Webinar. A second document that tallies TSN votes on ACE and programming priorities has also been posted. Among other things, the document indicates that TSN’s leadership favors moving electronic bond processing higher on the ACE priorities list, and providing full functionality in ACE for all entry summary types as well as enhanced entry summary edits prior to turning off ACS.
