M1 Code Loaded on Aug 27, New ACE Portal Features Expected Aug 29/Sept 6
U.S. Customs and Border Protection states that on August 27, 2011, it deployed the code for new capabilities related to rail and sea manifest (M1). There will be no operational use of the new M1 system until it is deemed fully operational and stable. At that time, the agency will notify trade partners that have completed their certification and testing that they can begin transmitting to ACE. CBP is also set to deploy its new ACE Portal capabilities, which are slated to be available to the trade on August 29 and September 6, in a two-phased approach.
