CBP to Sponsor Information Exchange on Automated Trade Processing System in Atlanta

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has scheduled an event where the trade community to participate can speak openly, learn about and provide input on the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), the trade processing system for the United States. Registration is now open for the free event to be held Oct. 15-17 in Atlanta.

Many companies have been utilizing ACE since 2002, and CBP encourages more companies to participate. The event will explain how ACE has helped companies comply with a new regulatory mandate and how ACE has given thousands of importers, brokers and truck carriers an advantage over their competitors.

New ACE functions have been developed that will benefit many professions and businesses. Regulatory and technical changes will be discussed that will impact the business of importing goods into the United States.

Learn about these changes and how to prepare for them by attending this free conference at the Marriott Hotel, One Hartsfield Centre Parkway, Atlanta, GA 30354
