On April 12, 2018, the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Kevin McAleenan, requested additional funding from Congress for the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE).

Citing an “ongoing demand for additional and enhanced ACE capabilities,” the Commissioner requested an increase of $5.5 million to develop and deploy Post-Core functionality for ACE in fiscal year 2019. The focus of CBP includes e-commerce and high-volume, low value shipments.
