US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) concluded installations of the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) in Texas.
All 13 land border ports in the Lone Star state, as well as two new ports in Santa Teresa and Columbus, New Mexico are now processing cargo using ACE.
ACE is the commercial trade processing system being developed by CBP to enhance border security and expedite legitimate trade.
There are currently 41 ACE ports located in the states of Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Washington, Texas, and New Mexico.
CBP is working diligently to finish deployment at all land-border ports.
In the next few weeks, CBP expects to complete the transition to ACE along the southern border, reaching California and one remaining port in Arizona, and then begin installations in the northeast.
Eventually ACE will be rolled out for air, rail, and sea cargo processing.
"The transition to ACE in Texas and New Mexico is huge, representing more than half of our operations on the southern land border, stretching nearly 1,500 miles," said Cargo Systems Program Office Executive Director Louis Samenfink. "Making the switch to ACE improves border security and facilitates legitimate trade."
Truck carriers are encouraged by CBP to establish ACE truck carrier accounts now to ensure efficient border operations when electronic manifests (e-Manifests) are eventually mandated at all land ports.
Thefaster carriers adopt e-Manifests, the faster the border crossing process speeds up for everyone.
