Automated Commercial Environment

The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) is a digital system used by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to streamline the import and export process. It allows businesses to electronically submit shipping documents, track cargo, and manage compliance with trade regulations. ACE improves efficiency by centralizing data and facilitating communication between importers, exporters, and government agencies. This system aims to enhance trade security and speed up the movement of goods across borders, ultimately benefiting both businesses and consumers by reducing delays and costs in international trade.
