The new capabilities were set to include:
- Ocean/Rail Manifest Integration with ACE Cargo Release -- This opens the ACE Cargo Release pilot to eligible filers of Ocean and Rail shipments. This will be the first time ACE Cargo Release will be working in tandem with another modernized system.
- Partials with In-bond for ACE Cargo Release -- This deployment completes in-bond capability in the air, ocean and rail modes of transportation.
- Entry Summary Validations for Simple Duty Calculations -- Duty calculation validations for entry summary lines with a single HTS classification will be implemented with this deployment. Additional entry summary edits will be delivered in future deployments.
- Partner Government Agency Integration (PG00 Record) -- This deployment will allow trade filers to submit a repeating point of contact once at the entry level.
- Single Accept/Reject Message for ACE Cargo Release Response -- This deployment will provide a single accept/reject message from CBP and PGAs for the Cargo Release response.
