Automated Commercial Environment (ACE)

The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) system that streamlines the import and export of goods. It digitizes and automates the process for businesses, helping them submit electronic documents for customs clearance. ACE improves efficiency, reduces paperwork, and enhances trade compliance by allowing faster processing of shipments across U.S. borders. By providing real-time data access, it helps businesses and government agencies make informed decisions, ultimately facilitating smoother international trade and improving security.
