CBP is aware that some customs brokers may need additional time to report their employees in the Modernized ACE Portal by the April 14 deadline due to technical issues, the agency said in a CSMS message. Some brokers have “encountered ACE technical issues tied to increased volume of employee reporting,” including “the inability to edit individual employee's information due to an 'invalid page' error and bulk uploads not returning successes even when the data elements are all correct,” CBP said.
CBP sent a reminder to customs brokers that the deadline for brokers to satisfy employee reporting requirements in the ACE Portal is April 14. According to the CSMS message, if a broker needs an extension, they should email the Broker Management Branch at brokermanagement@cbp.dhs.gov before April 14 to request more time. "Such requests should explain the broker's situation and how much additional time is needed," CBP said.

Hong Kong, Taiwan and Macau are not included under recently deployed Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act requirements in ACE, CBP said in a recent CSMS message.

CBP will deploy the first phase of its new entry summary data requirements for aluminum countries of smelt and cast on April 10 in ACE, but the deployment will have “no impact on the trade community until the effective date of May 10, 2023,” CBP said in a CSMS message. The exception would be if filers “attempt to report data on the 54-record, Type=07,” CBP said. “Those filers will receive the following error: F777 error – ADDTNL DEC TYPE NOT YET EFF OR EXPIRED.” CBP recently delayed the effective date of the new entry summary data elements until May 10 to give the trade more time to prepare (see 2303300059).
