U.S. Customs launches ACE portal
WASHINGTON (Jan. 5, 2004) — The U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has launched a new web portal designed to provide easy access to consolidated border processing information.
The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Secure Data Portal is currently available to an initial 41 importers and the CBP officers who support their accounts. Access to the portal will be expanded during 2004, CBP said.
The ACE Secure Data Portal, a customized computer screen similar to a web site, provides a centralized online access point to connect CBP & the trade community. The portal will also eventually provide access to participating government agencies with trade and enforcement responsibilities. Through development of collaborative tools such as the portal, ACE will provide integration of data and communication abilities among CBP, the trade community, and other agencies.
