ACE Certification Environment Maintenance Window Scheduled for September 30
CBP has announced a maintenance window for the ACE certification environment on September 30, during which testing and certification activities will be unavailable. Trade technology teams conducting ACE integration testing or pre-production certification work need to account for the outage window in their project timelines.
We treat scheduled ACE certification windows as operational planning items; our position is that any pending integration tests or partner certification milestones with a hard deadline near September 30 warranted advance scheduling to avoid compression against the maintenance window.
