U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) no longer accepts paper forms (CBP Form 7512) for in-bond reporting into the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) system effective July 2, 2018. Electronic filing of new in-bond transactions will be the responsibility of the trade. Paper forms or other paper alternatives (screen prints or plain paper documents etc.) will be accepted as part of enforcement processes at the border or verification/audit operations such as warehouse withdrawals, FTZ exports and transfers or vessel/aircraft supply operations where additional information is required on paper forms that is not provided for electronically. Effective August 6, 2018, electronic reporting of all transactions will become mandatory.
In addition, electronic reporting of diversion to a port other than reported on the original in-bond will be required. An ACE edit will reject arrival if not performed. Electronic reporting of bonded cargo location (FIRMS code) will be required. An ACE edit will reject arrival if not provided.
