BACKGROUND
ACE ACCOUNTS
Exporter Role Deployed June 27, 2015 For access to ACE Portal:
If you have an Import ACE Account Trade Account Owner (TAO) requests export
functionality within account for relevant EIN(s) ACE Export Reports access for existing EIN(s) are
enabled without further vetting by the Census Bureau To add new EIN(s) to existing account, TAO adds them
to the Top Account and requests ACE Export Reports access for additional EIN(s)
New EIN(s) are vetted by Census Bureau
ACE ACCOUNTS
If you do not have an Import ACE Account Establish new account at www.cbp.gov/ACE by completing
the ACE Exporter Account registration Single EIN: Register for an ACE account, then a Top Account
with a TAO will be created Multiple EINs: TAO must add additional EIN(s) after
registration If ACE Export Reports authorization is desired, it must be
requested for all EIN(s) associated with new account. EIN(s) will be vetted by the Census Bureau

ACCOUNTS/REPORTS BEST PRACTICES
If you are new to ACE and have multiple related EINs, it is not necessary to create multiple accounts. Create your top level account and add additional EINs once established.
Once you request reports access in ACE, immediately complete the COA, have a company official sign it and submit directly to Census ([email protected]).
If you have multiple EINs associated with an account, request access for each EIN and submit a comprehensive COA request for access if possible.
ACCOUNTS/REPORTS BEST PRACTICES
Be prepared to provide requested shipment information to Census for each EIN you request reports access to.
Respond to all requests in a timely fashion to avoid delays and backlogs.
Newly established exporter accounts without prior filing history will not be authorized to access reports.
EINs associated with established ACE Importer Accounts do not require further vetting.
