This time they want to share a valuable free tool provided by the government: ACE Portal. By applying for your ACE Secure Data Portal Account you will have more visibility over your imports and exports data so you can control compliance. Curious? Check this out:
What is ACE?
The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) is the system through which the trade community reports imports and exports and the government determines admissibility.
What are some of the features?
ACE has modernized and streamlined trade processing across all business capabilities, including Manifest, Cargo Release, Post Release, Export and Partner Government Agencies (PGAs).
How do I benefit?
You get visibility on all of your imports and exports. Supply Chain Solutions might not be your only broker filing entries, so this is a great way to have more control. It’s essential for compliance so you know as a corporation what is being processed against your bond.
Actionable benefits:
1. Allows you to check for broker compliance as you, the Importer, are ultimately responsible.
2. Allows you to analyze your data to look for duty and/or shipping cost reductions (e.g., can you move suppliers? Should you order a certain commodity from country A or B?).
