CBP Won't Grant Extensions for ACS/AMS Transition to ACE M1
CBP won't be giving any extensions to the Sept. 29 deadline for the required transition to ACE M1 for transmitting advance rail and sea cargo information, it said in a message reminding the trade of the coming change. As of Oct. 1, ACS/AMS EDI Ocean Manifest functionality will be transitioned to ACE as part of the ACE M1 Ocean and Rail Deployment. When this transition takes place, Ocean Manifest users will no longer be able to transmit or receive data via ACS/AMS. Programming changes to comply with the modified record formats must be made in order to continue filing manifests electronically. Any transactions not conforming to the ACE message formats will be rejected.
