ACE Entry Filing

ACE Entry and Entry Summary Filing

Electronic entry and entry summary through the Automated Commercial Environment. We file your entry accurately so CBP releases your cargo without delay.

The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) is the system CBP uses to process imports. Your entry and entry summary flow through it, and a clean, accurate filing is what turns arriving cargo into released goods. We file your ACE entry correctly so nothing bounces back from the entry desk.

Entry vs. Entry Summary

The entry gets your cargo released; the entry summary reports the details and pays the duty. Both have to be right. Errors mean rejected filings, requests for information, and delay while your container waits.

What Clean Filing Prevents

  • Rejected entries that send your cargo back into the queue.
  • CBP requests for information that stall release.
  • Duty miscalculations that trigger corrections and penalties later.

Filed Ahead of Arrival

We prepare your entry in advance so it is ready the moment your vessel is worked or your flight lands, then coordinate the rest of the clearance and drayage around it.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ACE?

The Automated Commercial Environment is CBP's electronic system for processing imports. Your entry and entry summary are filed through it. We handle that filing for you.

How soon can you file my entry?

We prepare the entry ahead of arrival so it is ready as soon as your cargo is available, which helps your goods release quickly and avoid demurrage.

What happens if there is an error in the entry?
