US Customs in Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) message #38744505 advised members of the trade community they will be required to electronically report In-Bond Arrivals, Exports and Diversions through the Automated Commercial Environment by July 29, 2019.  Highway carriers can meet their obligations using either their existing software, the ACE Portal or by having a service provider (i.e. U.S. Customs Broker) submit declarations on their behalf.  Highway carriers transporting In-Bond freight from or through the United States into Canada may encounter difficulties if they don’t have an active ACE Portal Account and may have to use the services of a US Customs Broker to arrive and export their shipments.  eManifest Express has a new service where carriers can arrive, export, divert and transfer In-Bond liability.  The solution also allows a carrier to submit a query to determine the current status of their In-Bond shipments and can be integrated with our ACE eManifest system or used as a stand alone system. To learn more about the service contact eManifest Express.

US Customs also published an Automated In-Bond Processing Business Processing Document carriers can use to familiarize themselves with the US In-Bond Processes.
