Update on 1/31/2007: Turns out Customs changed the location of the downloadable Trouble Report linked to below. I’ve update the link to reflect this, so it should work again.

If you’d like to get an inside view of Customs’ ACE e-Manifest deployment (and its outstanding issues), look no further than the just released Problem Trouble Report for Electronic Truck Manifest (MS Excel format).

The report lists 100 known issues currently affecting everything from ACE accounts, the ACE web portal, EDI transactions, and more. Note that in the “Status” column, Awaiting IT is short for Awaiting Technical Information.

Fair warning: This thing is pretty dense and technical, but if you’re curious or have been running into any problems using the ACE portal or filing, it might be worth a look.
