The data elements are: seller name and address, buyer name and address and manufacturer/supplier name and address, it said. "To certify from ACE Entry Summary, importers and customs brokers need to file the following: (1) ACE Cargo Release data elements; (2) ACE Entry Summary data; and (3) the three additional data elements announced in this notice," the notice said. "This test does not include split shipments, partial shipments, entry on cargo which has been moved in-bond from the first U.S. port of unlading, and entries requiring Partner Government Agency (PGA) information." Once CBP gets the required information, it ""will process the submission and will subsequently transmit its cargo release decision to the filer." CBP recently expanded the pilot to include rail and sea transportation in addition to air (see 14013112)
