| The objective of ACE and its
paperless environment is to meet regulatory and
security trade requirements while maintaining
movement of international commerce shipments.
First successful transmission of PMS was
completed by the combined efforts of CBP http://www.cpb.gov/,
TradePoint Systems http://tradepointsystems.com/
and Menlo Worldwide Trade Services http://www.menloworldwide.com/.
Involved in the test are 17 brokers, 34
importers, almost 350 CBP personnel and other
trade community representatives.
As CBP Commissioner, Robert C. Bonner, notes,
“the launch of Periodic Payment and other
account revenue capabilities marks a key period
of growth for ACE and CBP. This is another
important step toward enhancing our ability to
both protect America’s borders and expedite
legitimate trade. ACE will provide CBP personnel
with the information they need to decide what
should be targeted because it is a security
threat, and what should be expedited because it
complies with U.S. laws, before a shipment
reaches the border.”
