Customs and Border Protection issued a notice April 24 saying shared reports are now available for use by the trade community. The notice said all ACE trade report users now have the ability to share customized reports with any user of their ACE Portal account who has access to ACE reports. This will improve efficiency for the account by eliminating the need for multiple users to create similar reports, it said.
Customs and Border Protection's Office of Information and Technology said it assembled a list of companies/persons offering data processing services to the trade community for the Automated Broker Interface (ABI). It said inclusion on the list doesn't constitute any form of an endorsement by CBP about the nature, extent or quality of the services that may be provided.
