New ACE Release Offers Expanded Functionality for AD/CV Entries

(CBP)

Custom and Border Protection’s (CBP’s) plans to conduct a National Customs Automation Program (NCAP) test concerning new Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Entry Summary, Accounts and Revenue (ESAR III) capabilities. These new capabilities include functionalities specific to the filing and processing of anti-dumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) entries and case management.

A notice in the Federal Register announces the test’s commencement, describes the eligibility, procedural and documentation requirements for voluntary participation in the test, outlines CBP’s development and evaluation methodology, and invites public comment concerning any aspect of the test.
