What is ACE Highway eManifest,
and Why Is It Mandatory?

The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) is the cornerstone of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) trade processing, which is vital for risk management and cargo control as goods enter the U.S.. Highway carriers must file an ACE eManifest electronically, at least one hour before border arrival, to comply with CBP regulations.

This system not only streamlines cargo data management but also mitigates delays and penalties, ensuring smoother and faster clearance at the border, thus benefiting businesses by enhancing operational efficiencies and adherence to U.S. import regulations.

Before entering the U.S. border

Step 1

File and submit the ACE Highway eManifest via CrimsonLogic’s platform at least one hour prior to arrival at the border.

Step 2

Any in-bond shipments must also be manifested in the truck’s eManifest submission.

At the U.S. border

Step 3

CrimsonLogic or your customs broker will file customs declaration.

Step 4

Arrive at the border at least one hour after the eManifest is approved.

Step 5

Present the ACI coversheet to retrieve the eManifest information.

Step 6

After verification, the CBP Officer will either release the truck or refer it for secondary processing.

FAQs About ACE Manifest Filing

Below are some of the common questions customers have. If you can’t find the question you’re looking for, please contact us and reach out to our friendly support team. 

ACE (Automated Commercial Environment) is the U.S. electronic Single Window customs management software for all trade processing, including all Manifest, Cargo Release, Post-release, Export and Partner Government Agency (PGA) data. It requires the electronic transmission of detailed shipment data, including cargo descriptions, carrier information, and conveyance details, at least one hour prior to arrival at the border. ACE Highway eManifest enhances border security, facilitates efficient customs clearance, and ensures compliance with U.S. import regulations.

Since 2015, the ACE Highway eManifest requirement mandates that highway carriers transmit electronic cargo and conveyance data to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) via the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) before their shipment arrives in the U.S. 

The carrier bears responsibility for filing the ACE Highway eManifest and may opt to use a service provider to make the declaration. 

You will need a SCAC (Standard Carrier Alpha Code) issued by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). 

Once your account setup process has been successfully completed by our Billing Department, you’re all set to begin filing and submitting your ACE Highway eManifests. 

For U.S. CBP, the ACE Highway eManifest requirements include filing detailed information such as:

  • Trip Number
  • Port of Entry
  • Estimated and Actual Times of Arrival and Departure
  • Vehicle details (e.g. License Plate, VIN, Registration place)


Additionally, driver details must include a valid FAST Card ID or registered ACE ID. For shipments, required details:

  • PAPS number
  • Shipper
  • Consignee
  • Cargo specifics (e.g goods description, quantity, weight, and UNDG code if applicable for hazardous materials.)

Once your ACE Highway eManifest has been accepted and processed by your designated customs broker and subsequently certified by U.S. CBP, you’ll receive an entry number. With this entry number, you’ll be authorized to cross the border seamlessly.

We prioritize your peace of mind during border crossings with CBP. Our dedicated customer support team is available 24/7 to assist with any concerns. 

While it’s not mandatory to submit an ACE Highway Manifest for empty crossings, it’s worth noting that certain ports are now enforcing the requirement for carriers to process an ACE for empty loads. Submitting an ACE Highway eManifest, even for empty crossings, is highly recommended. This proactive approach helps ensure compliance with customs regulations and contributes to a smoother border-crossing process.
