Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Workshop

ACE is the technology foundation toward a “single window” to the U.S. government for both US import and export data. (U.S. exports to be implemented in the near future.) By the end of February 2016, all U.S. import electronic cargo releases, Customs entries and their related entry summary can only be filed in Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). Ultimately, this will also includes Partner Government Agency (PGA) data that is required at time of entry.

Please join us to learn more about ACE and work together to benchmark some of the best practices within the industry.

Facilitators:

Tina Roth, Trade Compliance Manager, DeLaval Services LLC

Kevin Ekstrand, Vice President, Sales and Marketig, Scarbrough International, Ltd.
