The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) is the commercial trade processing system being developed by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to become the “single window” through which international traders will electronically provide all information needed by federal agencies for the import of cargo. ACE is the enabler of further collaboration between the U.S. Government and the trade community to enhance the security, safety, compliance and flow of international trade.

ACE type 03 entry summaries are paperless. ACS requires paper type 03 entry summary packages.
ACE type 03 entry summaries allow users to create electronic non-reimbursement statements on AD/CVD entry summary lines. ACS type 03 entries require paper reimbursement certificates or separate ACE blanket non-
reimbursement statement.
More accurate AD/CVD calculation –ACE validates both ad valorem and specific rate duties. ACS only validates AD/CVD for ad valorem duties
Access ACE type 03 entry summary data in enhanced ACE portal reports. Similar reports are not available for ACS type 03 entry summary data.
