ACE Portal Adding Verification Step for ACH Refund Changes – Effective October 10
CBP is introducing an additional verification step in the ACE Portal when users make changes to ACH refund information, with the change taking effect October 10, 2026. Importers and brokers who manage ACH refund banking details in ACE should expect a modified workflow during that process.
We read this as a security-hardening measure for sensitive banking data, and we are reviewing our internal ACH refund update procedures to ensure staff are aware of the new verification step before it goes live.

Our position is general commentary on a published notice, not legal advice and not a binding opinion on any shipment. Nothing here creates a broker-client relationship or a duty of care, and it is not a substitute for a ruling, a licensed review of your facts, or the official notice itself.
