An ACE Portal account with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) provides importers with increased visibility into their U.S. import activity. Through the portal, account holders can easily monitor entry data, view liquidation status, track refunds, and ensure CBP has accurate contact information on file.
Willson International strongly recommends that any importer who has not yet established an ACE account takes advantage of CBP’s more streamlined, free-of-charge application process.
In September, CBP will incorporate a two-factor authentication for the portal login.
Key Benefits of an ACE Portal Account:
– Setup ACH Electronic Refunds. CBP no longer issues paper refund checks with only minor exceptions.
– Timely access to your entry and transaction data
– Ability to monitor liquidation status and regulatory timelines
– Access to reporting tools to support compliance and internal auditing
– Assurance that CBP has accurate contact details for your organization
