US Customs issued a press release this week as the ACE transition passed another hurdle with the addition of the FDA to the system.  Commissioner Kerlikowske stated, “CBP is very pleased with the results of our mandatory ACE transitions to date, including our most recent transition on June 15th. To ensure trade filers were prepared for this transition, CBP and FDA worked closely to conduct a series of trade filing exercises to iron out any FDA filing issues in advance of June 15th.† The next transition is July 23rd, when quota shipments are added to the system.
