New York gets ACE

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has completed installations of its Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) at all land borders ports in New York State. The system provides CBP with the ability to collect electronic manifests for trucks.

Currently, ACE is operating at all southern land border ports and along most of the northern border as well.

A mandatory e-manifest policy will be implemented by the agency on a port-by-port basis beginning in 2007. Notices will be published in the Federal Register at least 90 days before implementation. The information will also be posted at www.cbp.gov/modernization
