The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) is the
new U.S. Customs and Border Protection shipment reporting regulation!
Highway carriers are now required to send crew, trucks, trailer
and shipment details over the Internet to U.S. Customs before reaching
the U.S. border. It requires carriers to submit electronic manifest
submissions and have them accepted by U.S. Customs one hour in advance
(non-FAST shipments) and 30 minutes prior (for FAST shipments) to
truck arrival at first U.S. port of entry.
