Increment 2May 8 to August 6, 2013
5
Began January 2013 to test CBP’s ability to build ACE using Agile development methodology Smaller pieces of functionality more frequently, resulting in a more flexible, user-focused
development process
Development underway with 4 teams; will scale to 9-12 teams by 2014
CBP has successfully developed, tested, and demonstrated: Electronic Entry Corrections and Cancellations
• Reduces time and cost associated with former paper process
• Allows officers to assess risk associated with data change
Partner Government Agency (PGA) Message Set
• Facilitates more rapid decision making by multiple agencies
• Successfully integrated PGA Message Set with the Environmental Protection Agency
Initial Entry Summary Validations
• Increases integrity of data submitted and compliance of revenue collected
• Identified by the trade community as key to their adoption of ACE entry summary filing
Work is ongoing to re-engineer the Automated Export System (AES) Completion planned for end of 2013 calendar year

Simplified Entry (SE) is the first phase of Cargo Release developed in ACE. Cargo Release/SE pilot covers entry data for formal and informal consumption entries in the
air mode of transport.
CBP will continue to build upon the success of Simplified Entry to achieve full Cargo Release capability in ACE.
Benefits of Cargo Release/Simplified Entry Enhances Cargo Security
• Allows CBP and the trade community to identify and address potential risks earlier in the process
Streamlines Release of Cargo
• Earlier risk assessment decisions
• Earlier and more detailed messaging
Reduces Transaction Costs
• Reduces transaction costs for importers and CBP by requesting filing data once
• Greater predictability; allows importers to make logistical arrangements in advance of arrival
• Reduces “exceptions” needing special processing after arrival
Cargo Release/Simplified Entry Pilot

1. Filers Submit a Streamlined Data Submission
Prior to the arrival of the merchandise, filers submit a reduced amount of information – 12 required and 3 optional data elements – for transporting the cargo to the United States.
2. Filers Can Provide the Information in Advance
The Simplified Entry can be filed earlier in the import process, allowing an expanded window of opportunity to identify potential risks earlier.
3. Filers Can Update the Data for Accuracy
It allows filers to update entry information, providing CBP more accurate data and enhancing cargo security.
4. More Detailed and Earlier Messaging
Document requests will look to identify specific documents as appropriate and can begin while goods are still overseas.
This simplifies the merchandise release process, allows for more streamlined electronic transmission for the filer, and assists
importers in finalizing cargo logistics.
Cargo Release/SE Overview
10
Cargo Release/Simplified Entry reduces the number of duplicative data elements required to obtain release of products for cargo, eliminating the current entry (CBP Form 3461) This promotes the concept of “the owner knows the data best,” resulting in more accurate
information
The following SE data set replaces the CBP Form 3461:
Simplifying the Entry Process
11
The Cargo Release/Simplified Entry pilot began in May 2012 in the air mode of transportation.
As of May 29, 2013, over 113,500 Simplified Entries have been successfully filed for 1,094 importers at 16 airports.
Document imaging capabilities were deployed in November 2012, allowing participants to electronically provide documentation supporting their Simplified Entries via e-mail.
The following documents can be transmitted via e-mail to support Simplified Entry:

CBP is working to enhance the Cargo Release/Simplified Entry functionality in 2013 to include additional capabilities:
PGA Message Set
• Automates the collection, processing, and sharing of information required by PGAs
• Will replace the myriad of paper forms currently submitted to Federal agencies by the trade community during the cargo importation process
• Piloting with Environmental Protection Agency and Food Safety Inspection Service later this year
Entry Corrections and Cancellations
• Provides the capability for CBP to accept (or deny) corrections and/or cancellations sent by the trade community via EDI to Simplified Entries on file with CBP
