(In its earlier message, CBP had explained that the outage would impact ACE portal trade users for up to 2 hours and ACE EDI users for approximately 1 hour concurrent with the ACE portal outage.
ACE manifest, entry summary, report and portal users would not be able to access the system from 3:00 pm EST until approximately 5:00 pm EST. ACE truck and Ocean/Rail manifests and ACE entry summaries received after 3:00 pm EST would be queued and processed at the completion of the outage, which was expected to be approximately 4:00 pm EST. CBP stated carriers should work in cooperation with local ports during this outage.)
