The U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection announced the latest ACE e-Manifest enforcement dates in a Federal Register Notice published on Friday, April 13th 2007. Briefly, it says that starting July 12, 2007, e-Manifests will need to be filed in advance of trucks entering the United States through land border ports in Vermont and New Hampshire, and the ports in North Dakota where it’s not currently being enforced. Those ports of entry are:
- St. John
- Fortuna
- Ambrose
- Carbury
- Noonan
- Dunseith
- Sherwood
- Antler
- Northgate
- Westhope
- Portal
If you’re already passing through ports where e-Manifest is enforced, this obviously won’t be a huge deal for you. If this announcement will finally force you to start filing e-Manifests for the first time, now is a great time to apply for an ACE Portal account and investigate third party filing options. That will give you plenty of time to weigh your options and get used to the new requirements.
