MANIFESTS

ACE emanifests

ACE Portal Solutions will create your manifest for you. Once you establish yourself as one of our accounts, we can work with you to set up the information exchange needed to enable us to create your manifests and shipments.

We can show our accounts how to use the transactions link in ACE to verify that the entry has been filed for the shipment as well as other notifications. Unfortunately this feature is only available to Trade Account Owners.

We provide 24/7 follow up support for all manifests we create. We guarantee quick response to your manifest support requests, without a long wait time on hold.

PAPS Shipments

We will create your manifest and PAPS shipments via the ACE Portal. Entry filing will still be done by the Customs broker, and it remains the responsibility of the carrier to coordinate with the broker to make sure the entry is filed.

Special classes of merchandise.

  • Additional information may be required for certain types of merchandise such as hazmat or vehicles. This information will be requested once we have determined that it is needed.

In Bond Shipments

We can save money for you or your client on the cost of your in bonds.

We will prepare your in bond shipment directly in the ACE Portal making it easier and more reliable to be included in a manifest, as opposed to a broker created in bond, known as a QP, for the following reasons:

  1. Broker QPs are created via a system known as ABI (Automated Broker Interface) which is a different format from ACE. If you currently attach the QP to your manifest, you know that modifications are needed to make the in bond compatible with ACE. Often problems are encountered when trying to modify the QP.
  2. If you currently use the method of creating a PAPS shipment to link to a broker QP, our ACE created in bonds will avoid the problems that often arise with QPs. Although the PAPS does convert to an in bond most of the time, when it does not, drivers encounter significant delays when they arrive at the border. This will not happen with our in bond shipments which are created directly in ACE.

We will provide you with a paper CBP form 7512 as part of the in bond shipment creation package. If the goods are subject to FDA prior notice requirements, we will file that as well for an additional charge.

If goods are subject to FDA prior notice requirements we will need a detailed description of the goods, including for all foods how they are preserved (smoked, frozen, etc.) and how they are packed (cans, bags, etc.

Please refer to the in bond tab on our site for more details.

ACI emanifest

Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) will be requiring electronic manifest transmission for goods entering Canada by truck effective May 2013. To assist carriers in complying with this mandate, we offer several emanifest options using the CBSA emanifest portal. We can provide emanifest creation training , or, if you prefer, we can create the actual emanifests and transmit them to CBSA for you. Either way, by enlisting our services, you will be ensuring a smooth transition to the emanifest requirement under the Advanced Commercial Information program.
