CBP to Deploy New Broker Permit Management Tools in ACE Portal

CBP will deploy on Dec. 19 a new national permits tab in the modernized ACE portal that brokers will use to manage all broker permit information, the agency said in an updated trade information notice posted Nov. 21. When the new tab goes live, all broker permit-related information will become read-only in the legacy ACE portal, and brokers will find new tools to manage broker permit requirements, including for editing address details and adding and editing point of contact and employee information, with previous employment information and addresses no longer required. Brokers also will be able to view broker supervision plans in the new tab, though only new organizational broker accounts will require submissions of the plans. A canceled broker permits tab also will be deployed for organizational accounts, showing historical district permits in effect prior to the transition to the national permit, CBP said.
