In a Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) bulletin published on April 1, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced the release of a modernized Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Portal account application.

While CBP will temporarily continue to process legacy PDF-based applications, applicants are “strongly encouraged” to use the new web-based ACE Portal application for faster processing.
