In a Federal Register notice to be published on March 27, 2015, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is extending the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) cargo release pilot to include entries subject to antidumping and countervailing duties (type 03 entries), split shipments, partial shipments, and in-bond movements, effective March 1, 2015.
 
The notice clarifies that importers are now able to submit “type 03 entries for all modes of transportation and to file, for cargo transported in the truck mode, entries for split shipments or partial shipments and entry on cargo which has been moved in-bond from the first U.S. port of unlading.”
 
Participating filers will now be able to submit three new additional data elements:

• Port of Entry (if an in-bond number is provided in the entry submission, the planned port of entry must also be provided).
• In-Bond number (if an in-bond shipment)
• Bill Quantity (if bill of lading quantity is specified in the entry, it becomes the entered and released quantity for that bill. If the bill quantity is not specified, full bill quantity will be entered and released for that bill)

Parties interested to participate must be self-filing importers or brokers with the capability to file ACE Entry Summaries certified for cargo release.
