Pre-Deployment Support Call Rescheduled: ACE Entry Type 13 Test for U.S. Mail Processing
CBP has rescheduled the pre-deployment support call for the implementation of Entry Type 13 (mail entries) in ACE, affecting filers and carriers involved in U.S. international mail processing. This test and its associated entry type represent a coming operational change in how commercial-value mail shipments are processed through ACE.
We are tracking the rescheduled Entry Type 13 test closely, as its full deployment will change the filing workflow for mail-channel shipments and could affect brokers and carriers who handle high-volume low-value mail entries. In our view, the rescheduling underscores that this is a technically complex deployment that warrants careful readiness assessment before go-live.
