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.

CBP issued an internal guidance Nov. 7 on verifying bond amounts for Temporary Importation Under Bond (TIB) entries and requesting additional security under a Single Transaction Bond (STB) when a continuous bond is on file but is not sufficient to cover TIB requirements, the agency said in a Nov. 14 CSMS message.
As the agency prepares to roll out its National Broker Permit on Dec. 19, CBP has asked importers, brokers and software developers not to initiate updates to their systems until after the rollout date. During a biweekly ACE call on Nov. 10, Steve Zaccaro of the Trade Transformation Office's Services Division told listeners that even though the initiative is "thoroughly tested" and ready to go, CBP would be grateful if participants did not make any changes to their own systems leading up to the opening of the new program. That way, Zaccaro said, any technical issues that arise will be known to be on CBP's end and that should significantly speed the fixing of inevitable technical issues. Anyone using the system would be wise to run as many "unique scenarios" through their own systems before Dec. 19 to iron out as much as possible, Zaccaro said.
