CBP Plans to Deploy New Entry Data Element for Chinese Goods Dec. 15
CBP will delay until Dec. 15 its deployment of a new mandatory data element in ACE for goods with a country of origin of China, said a CBP spokesperson Oct. 26. The new UFLPA Region Alert capability in ACE will use a new mandatory data element for the Chinese manufacturer’s postal code to generate a warning message when a Uyghur region postal code has been provided, according to an earlier update to the agency’s ACE development schedule that had listed a scheduled deployment in November.

CBP plans to put out an updated CATAIR document and add the capability to the ACE certification environment over the coming weeks, the spokesperson said. The agency also plans “further discussions with the trade community about the proposed change to be sure we understand the potential impacts,” and “will work to resolve” any issues and concerns “or change the deployment date as needed,” he said.
