Automated Commercial Environment

The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) is a US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) commercial trade-processing system aimed at consolidating and automating border processing. 

ACE offers a customized web-based system that connects CBP, the trade community and participating government agencies in one centralized, on-line access point.  It has been designed to increase lawful cross-border trade, while enhancing border security by:

• Providing an information-sharing platform for trade data throughout government agencies
• allowing the trade community to access to and management of their trade information via reports;
• improving communication, collaboration, and compliance efforts between CBP and the trade community
• Facilitating efficient collection, processing, and analysis of commercial import and export data

For more information on the ACE system, please visit the US Customs and Border Protection website.
