As the first of three phases to enhance truck manifest functionality in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), ACE Truck Manifest – Phase 1 will provide a modernized trade-facing truck manifest User Interface (UI), accessed through the ACE Secure Data Portal (ACE Portal), and streamlined functionalities that will improve user experience.
Ahead of the live deployment, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) deployed ACE Truck Manifest – Phase 1 enhancements to a testing environment on December 9, 2019 to familiarize users with the new ACE Truck Manifest UI. For more information, including instructions on accessing the testing environment, please review the “Testing Environment” section of the ACE Truck Manifest- Phase 1 Information Notice.
The ACE Truck Manifest – Phase 1 UI enhancements will become available for filing manifests in the ACE Portal on March 2, 2020, and for an interim period, users will have the option to file manifests in the ACE Portal using either the current or new UI. On June 22, 2020, CBP will turn off the current UI, and users will be required to use the new UI for ACE Portal manifest filings. Until that time, while the legacy UI and the new UI will both be available, users are encouraged to utilize the new UI for filing truck manifests to prepare for the retirement of the legacy UI. Please see the timeline below for more details on the deployment of ACE Truck Manifest – Phase 1:
| Target Dates | Testing Login | ACE Portal |
|---|---|---|
| December 9, 2019 – March 2, 2020 | New Manifest UI | Current UI for Manifests |
| March 2, 2020 – June 22, 2020 | New Manifest UI | Both Current UI and New UI available for Manifests |
| June 22, 2020 | New Manifest UI | New Manifest UI Only (Current UI retired) |
In preparation for the deployment, account data stored in the legacy Truck Manifest UI – including crew, commercial parties, and vehicles and conveyances – were transferred to the new Truck Manifest UI on February 29, 2020. However, no further account data migration will occur. Going forward, please ensure that all account information is entered in the new UI.
