ACE e-manifest for trucks is a powerful, time saving tool.
Truck carriers can submit an e-Manifest through the web-based ACE Secure Data Portal or via CBP approved Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) procedures.
The portal is essentially a computer screen similar to a Web site home page that connects CBP and the trade community by providing a single, integrated, on-line access point for communications and information.
With a one-screen system, filing is easy and for unchanging daily shipments, data can be stored and reused requiring less data entry time for truck carriers.
When a truck approaches the primary booth, transponder technology similar to that of a toll-paying device may be used to signal the truck's arrival.
The e-Manifest is automatically retrieved along with the matching pre-filed entries, in-bond requests and other release declarations for the CBP officer to view and process.
In addition, by establishing and using an ACE portal account, carriers can track the status of their trips and generate a wide variety of reports.
This enables carriers to identify trends to plan future courses of action and achieve better results for their company.
The e-Manifest capability is available at ACE ports and eventually will be coming to all ports.
Nearly 40 companies are certified to submit e-Manifests through EDI, and numerous companies are using the ACE Secure Data Portal for submission.
