<h2 style="margin-top: 0;">Overview</h2>
<p>The <strong>eManifest Template Feature</strong> in BorderConnect is a powerful tool designed to drastically reduce data entry time and minimize the risk of costly manual keying errors.</p>

<p>By allowing users to save frequently used information, templates can be applied with a single click to automatically populate recurring trip, equipment, driver, and shipment data into new manifests.</p>

<div style="background-color: #fff3cd; border-left: 4px solid #ffeeba; padding: 15px; margin-top: 20px; color: #856404;">
<strong>⚠️ Important Notice:</strong> The Template feature should only be used if you are absolutely certain that the data will be reused for multiple trips. <strong>Always double-check the information</strong> before submitting. Drivers arriving at the border with incorrect data can be delayed, held, or given a penalty for inaccurate information on an ACE or ACI eManifest.

<strong>How to Reach the Templates Page:</strong><br>

<h2 style="margin-top: 40px; border-bottom: 2px solid #eee; padding-bottom: 10px;">When to Use Templates (and When Not To)</h2>

<div class="bc-card">
<p>While templates are a massive time-saver, they are not suited for every type of freight operation. Using templates incorrectly or blindly can lead to severe consequences at the border.</p>

<table class="wikitable" style="width: 100%;">
<tr>
<th style="width: 50%;">✅ IDEAL Scenarios (Use Templates)</th>
<th style="width: 50%;">❌ BAD Scenarios (Avoid Templates)</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top;">
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
* <strong>Dedicated/Recurring Routes:</strong> Delivering the same commodity between the exact same Shipper and Consignee daily or weekly (e.g., auto parts or groceries).
* <strong>Empty Crossings:</strong> Drivers returning empty on a regular, predictable basis.
* <strong>Consistent Driver/Equipment Combos:</strong> If a driver always drives the same truck and pulls the same trailer, creating a template for the Trip data saves repetitive entry.
* <strong>Single-Commodity Haulers:</strong> Hauling bulk goods (like lumber or grain) where only the exact weight or piece count changes from trip to trip.
</div>
</td>
<td style="vertical-align: top;">
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
* <strong>LTL (Less-Than-Truckload):</strong> Carriers hauling mixed freight with constantly changing shippers, consignees, piece counts, and weights.
* <strong>Brokerage/Spot Market Freight:</strong> Where every load is unique and the routing changes frequently.
* <strong>High-Risk or Hazmat Loads:</strong> Shipments requiring exact, unique descriptions and UN numbers that must be verified fresh on every trip to avoid severe penalties.
* <strong>Inattentive Dispatching:</strong> If users are prone to blindly clicking "Submit" without updating variable fields (like piece counts, weights, or seal numbers) on the loaded template.

As shown in the reference images Screenshot 2026-06-03 164255.png (ACI Template Editor) and Screenshot 2026-06-03 165911.png (ACE Template Editor), you can click the '''+ Add''' drop-down menu to preload a comprehensive list of trip and shipment data points.

'''For ACI Templates''', the details you can add include:
* Add ETA Date Rule
* Add Carrier Code
* Add Port of Entry
* Add Truck
* Add Driver
* Add Passenger
* Add Trailer
* Add Shipment Type
* Add Release Office
* Add Sub Location
* Add Is Consolidated Rule
* CSA Business Number
* Shipper
* Consignee
* Add Commodity

'''For ACE Templates''', the details you can add include:
* Add SCAC Code
* Add ETA Date Rule
* Add U.S. Port of Arrival
* Add Truck
* Add Driver
* Add Driver Address
* Add Passenger
* Add Trailer
* Add Shipment Type
* Shipper
* Consignee
* Broker
* Add Commodity

Simply select the fields that remain consistent for your specific route or customer, fill in the data, and click '''Save''' at the top of the editor. Your template is now ready to use to save time on future eManifests!

== Using a Template ==
When ACE or ACI templates exist, starting a new trip or shipment will display a '''Fill From Template''' button at the top of the '''Start New ACE Manifest''', '''Start New ACI eManifest''', '''Start New ACE Shipment''', and '''Start new ACI eManifest''' pages.

# Click the '''Fill From Template''' button to open the '''Fill eManifest from ACE or ACI Template''' modal.

__TOC__

== Overview ==
The '''eManifest Template Feature''' in BorderConnect is a powerful tool designed to streamline the creation of both ACE (U.S.) and ACI (Canada) eManifests and shipments. By allowing users to save frequently used trip, driver, equipment, and shipment information, templates drastically reduce data entry time and minimize the risk of costly manual keying errors.

== Enabling the Template Feature ==
The eManifest template setting is turned off by default. To begin utilizing templates, it must be enabled in your company's settings.

# Navigate to the '''Company Settings''' page.
# Scroll to the '''Shared eManifest Settings''' section.
# Toggle on '''Use Trip and Shipment Templates'''.

== Accessing and Managing Templates ==
Once the feature is enabled, you can manage all your existing templates and search for specific ones from a centralized location.

# From the top menu, hover over '''Manage Data''' and click '''Templates'''. This will bring you to the Template Search page.
# To find a specific template, type a keyword into the '''Template Contains''' field and click the '''Search''' button.
# Below the search area, users can view a list of all existing ACE or ACI templates. From this list, you can quickly click to '''Edit''', '''Start Trip from Template''', '''Start Shipment from Template''', or '''Deactivate''' the existing template.

== Creating a New Template ==
From the Template Search page, you can easily build new templates for your recurring manifests or shipments.

# Click either the '''New ACE Template''' button (for US-bound trips) or the '''New ACI Template''' button (for Canada-bound trips).
# You will be brought to the Template Editor for that specific country.
# Enter a recognizable '''Template Name'''.

__TOC__

== Overview ==
The '''eManifest Template Feature''' in BorderConnect is a powerful tool designed to streamline the creation of both [[ACE eManifest|ACE (U.S.)]] and [[ACI eManifest|ACI (Canada)]] eManifests. By allowing users to save frequently used trip, driver, equipment, and shipment information, templates drastically reduce data entry time and minimize the risk of costly keying errors.

If your fleet runs dedicated lanes, regular LTL routes, or frequently uses the same truck and driver combinations, setting up eManifest templates will significantly speed up your dispatching workflow.

== Benefits of Using Templates ==
* '''Time Savings:''' Generate new manifests in seconds by pre-loading up to 90% of the required trip data.
* '''Reduced Errors:''' Eliminate repetitive manual data entry, reducing the chance of typos that could lead to customs rejections or border delays.
* '''Standardization:''' Ensure dispatchers are using the correct ports, drivers, and equipment for specific regular routes.
* '''Flexibility:''' Apply a template to populate the baseline data, then easily edit or add specific shipment details before transmitting.

== How to Create an eManifest Template ==
There are two primary methods for creating an eManifest template in BorderConnect: saving an existing manifest as a template, or creating one from scratch.

=== Method 1: Saving an Existing Manifest as a Template (Recommended) ===
If you have already created an eManifest with the exact details you want to use again, you can quickly save it as a template.

# Navigate to the '''eManifest Details''' page of the ACE or ACI manifest you wish to use.
# Scroll to the top right of the manifest details section.
# Click the '''Save As Template''' button.
# A prompt will appear asking you to name the template. Enter a clear, descriptive name (e.g., ''"Detroit-Windsor Auto Parts - John Doe"'').
# Click '''Save'''. The template is now saved and ready for future use.

=== Method 2: Creating a Template from Scratch ===
You can also build a template from the ground up without creating a live manifest first.

# On the top menu bar, navigate to the '''ACE eManifests''' or '''ACI eManifests''' menu.
# Select '''Search/Manage Templates'''.
# Click the '''New Template''' button at the top of the screen.
# Enter a '''Template Name'''. Make it easily identifiable for your dispatch team.
# Fill out the standard manifest fields you want to save. You can include:
#* '''Trip Details:''' Port of Entry, Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA).
#* '''Conveyance:''' Truck, Trailer(s), Seal Numbers.
#* '''Crew:''' Driver, Co-Driver, Passengers.
#* '''Shipment Data:''' (Optional) You can leave this blank if shipments change daily, or include standard shipper/consignee data if it remains constant.
# Click '''Save Template''' at the bottom of the page.

== How to Use a Template to Create a New eManifest ==
Once your templates are saved, applying them to new shipments is quick and easy.

# From the top menu, select '''Start New ACE eManifest''' or '''Start New ACI eManifest'''.
# At the very top of the new manifest screen, locate the '''Use Template''' drop-down menu.
# Select the desired template from the list.
# Once selected, the page will automatically refresh and populate all the saved fields.
# Review the pre-loaded information. You will likely need to update the '''Estimated Date and Time of Arrival (ETA)''' and add the specific '''Trip Number'''.
# Add or modify any '''Shipments''' attached to the manifest for this specific trip.
# Click '''Save''' and proceed to transmit your eManifest to Customs.

== Managing and Editing Templates ==
Over time, drivers may change trucks, or regular routes might shift. You can easily update your existing templates.

# Go to the '''ACE eManifests''' or '''ACI eManifests''' menu at the top of the screen.
# Click on '''Search/Manage Templates'''.
# You will see a list of all active templates.
# To '''Edit''': Click the ''Edit'' link next to the template. Make your necessary changes to the trip, driver, or equipment, and click '''Save'''.
# To '''Delete''': Click the ''Delete'' link next to the template to remove it permanently from your list.

== Best Practices ==
* '''Use Descriptive Names:''' Name your templates based on a logical convention, such as ''[Port of Entry] - [Driver Name] - [Customer]'', so dispatchers can find them instantly.
* '''Leave Dynamic Fields Blank:''' If the trailer changes every trip but the truck and driver stay the same, leave the trailer field blank in the template to force the dispatcher to select the correct one manually.
* '''Regular Audits:''' Periodically review your template list and delete outdated templates for former drivers or retired equipment to keep the drop-down list clean and manageable.

<h2 style="margin-top: 0;">Overview</h2>
<p>The <strong>eManifest Sync Feature</strong> allows users to submit and update both <strong>ACE (CBP)</strong> and <strong>ACI (CBSA)</strong> eManifests using a single action.</p>

<p>Instead of manually selecting specific transmission message types (like "Amend", "Change", or "Add"), users simply click <strong>Sync with CBP</strong> or <strong>Sync with CBSA</strong>. BorderConnect intelligently calculates the difference between your last submission and your current data, then automatically sends the correct message(s) to customs.</p>

<div class="bc-did-you-know" style="margin-top: 20px;">
<strong>Why Use Sync?</strong> It removes the guesswork. Whether it's a new manifest, a driver change, or a shipment amendment, Sync handles the required logic for you.

<h2 style="margin-top: 40px; border-bottom: 2px solid #eee; padding-bottom: 10px;">How to Use Sync</h2>

<div class="bc-2col">

<div class="bc-card">
<h3>Syncing a New Manifest</h3>
<p>When you first create a manifest, it is in "Draft" status. Syncing submits it to customs.</p>
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
1. Complete your Trip and Shipment details.
2. Click <strong>Sync with CBP/CBSA</strong> at the top of the page.
3. Monitor the status panel.
4. Wait for the <strong>On File / Accepted</strong> status.
</div>
[[File:Emanifest-sync-required.png|thumb|center|Sync Button (Yellow Indicator)]]
</div>

<div class="bc-card">
<h3>Syncing Corrections</h3>
<p>If you edit an accepted manifest, BorderConnect flags it as "Changed".</p>
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
1. Make your edits (e.g., change driver, fix weight).
2. Review the <strong>Changes made since last sync</strong> summary.
3. Click <strong>Sync with CBP/CBSA</strong> again.
4. Only the specific changes are sent to customs.

<p>The sync bar changes color to keep you informed:</p>
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
* <strong>Yellow:</strong> Sync Required (Changes are pending).
* <strong>Blue (Processing):</strong> Transmission in progress.
* <strong>Green:</strong> Synced (Data matches what is on file).

<div class="bc-warning" style="margin-bottom: 20px;">
<strong>Recommendation:</strong> <strong>eManifest Sync</strong> is on by default and is the primary way eManifests are sent and changed with customs; it is highly recommended to keep this enabled.

<p style="margin-top: 10px;">While eManifest Sync can be turned off in the <strong>Company Settings</strong> page, or disabled on a specific manifest by clicking the <strong>three dots</strong> (top right of the manifest details page), this is only recommended in rare cases. The legacy send functions described in this guide should only be used if Sync is disabled or when specifically instructed by support.</p>
</div>

<h2 style="margin-top: 0;">Overview</h2>
<p>This guide assumes your manifest is already submitted and <strong>on file</strong> with CBSA. These changes can <strong>only be made prior to the driver's arrival</strong> at the border. The procedure depends on which data element requires updating.</p>

<div class="bc-subtle">
<strong>Initial Step:</strong> For all types of changes, you must first bring up your manifest by using the <strong>ACI eManifest Search Page</strong> and clicking <strong>View</strong>.

<p>Most changes can be processed using a <strong>Change Request</strong>. Exceptions include changing Trip Numbers, Cargo Control Numbers, or adding/removing shipments.</p>

<div class="bc-card">
<h3><span class="bc-step-circle">1</span> Apply Changes in BorderConnect</h3>
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
* <strong>Port of Entry or ETA:</strong> Click <strong>Edit</strong> (top left). When saving, select <strong>Yes</strong> when the system offers to update all attached shipments to match.
* <strong>Truck or Trailer:</strong> Click <strong>Remove</strong> on the current asset, then use <strong>Quick Assign</strong> to add the new one.
** <em>Note: Drivers can be updated here for your reference, but they are not transmitted to CBSA.</em>
* <strong>Seal Numbers:</strong> Click <strong>View</strong> on the trailer/truck, edit the seals, and click <strong>Back to ACI eManifest</strong>.
* <strong>Cargo Exemptions:</strong> Mouse over <strong>Set Cargo Exemption</strong> to add, or click <strong>Remove Cargo Exemption Code</strong> to delete.
* <strong>Shipper, Consignee, or Commodity:</strong> Click <strong>View</strong> for the shipment. Use <strong>Remove/Assign</strong> for parties or <strong>Edit</strong> for commodities.

<h2 style="margin-top: 0;">Overview</h2>
<p>The <strong>eManifest Sync Feature</strong> allows users to submit and update both <strong>ACE (CBP)</strong> and <strong>ACI (CBSA)</strong> eManifests using a single action.</p>

<p>Instead of manually selecting specific transmission message types (like "Amend", "Change", or "Add"), users simply click <strong>Sync with CBP</strong> or <strong>Sync with CBSA</strong>. BorderConnect intelligently calculates the difference between your last submission and your current data, then automatically sends the correct message(s) to customs.</p>

<div class="bc-did-you-know" style="margin-top: 20px;">
<strong>Why Use Sync?</strong> It removes the guesswork. Whether it's a new manifest, a driver change, or a shipment amendment, Sync handles the required logic for you.

<h2 style="margin-top: 0;">Overview</h2>
<p>The <strong>eManifest Sync Feature</strong> allows users to submit and update both <strong>ACE (CBP)</strong> and <strong>ACI (CBSA)</strong> eManifests using a single action.</p>

<p>Instead of manually selecting specific transmission message types (like "Amend", "Change", or "Add"), users simply click <strong>Sync with CBP</strong> or <strong>Sync with CBSA</strong>. BorderConnect intelligently calculates the difference between your last submission and your current data, then automatically sends the correct message(s) to customs.</p>

<div class="bc-did-you-know" style="margin-top: 20px;">
<strong>Why Use Sync?</strong> It removes the guesswork. Whether it's a new manifest, a driver change, or a shipment amendment, Sync handles the required logic for you.

<div class="bc-2col">

<div class="bc-card">
<h3>Syncing a New Manifest</h3>
<p>When you first create a manifest, it is in "Draft" status. Syncing submits it to customs.</p>
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
1. Complete your Trip and Shipment details.
2. Click <strong>Sync with CBP/CBSA</strong> at the top of the page.
3. Monitor the status panel.
4. Wait for the <strong>On File / Accepted</strong> status.
</div>
[[File:Emanifest-sync-required.png|thumb|center|Sync Button (Yellow Indicator)]]
</div>

<div class="bc-card">
<h3>Syncing Corrections</h3>
<p>If you edit an accepted manifest, BorderConnect flags it as "Changed".</p>
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
1. Make your edits (e.g., change driver, fix weight).
2. Review the <strong>Changes made since last sync</strong> summary.
3. Click <strong>Sync with CBP/CBSA</strong> again.
4. Only the specific changes are sent to customs.

<strong>Recommendation:</strong> <strong>eManifest Sync</strong> is on by default and is the primary way eManifests are sent and changed with customs; it is highly recommended to keep this enabled.

<p style="margin-top: 10px;">While eManifest Sync can be turned off in the <strong>Company Settings</strong> page, or disabled on a specific manifest by clicking the <strong>three dots</strong> (top right of the manifest details page), this is only recommended in rare cases. The legacy send functions described in this guide should only be used if Sync is disabled or when specifically instructed by support.</p>
</div>

<h2 style="margin-top: 0;">Overview</h2>
<p>This guide assumes your manifest is already submitted and <strong>on file</strong> with CBP. The procedure for changing your manifest will depend on what part of your manifest you need to change. While it is possible to process most types of changes using an amendment, a few types of changes will need to be processed using different steps.</p>

<div class="bc-subtle">
<strong>Initial Step:</strong> For all types of changes, you will first want to bring up your manifest by using the <strong>ACE Manifest Search Page</strong> and clicking <strong>View</strong>.
</div>

<div style="margin-top: 15px; text-align: center;">

</div>
</div>

<h2 style="margin-top: 40px; border-bottom: 2px solid #eee; padding-bottom: 10px;">Amendments</h2>
<p>Most types of changes to your manifest can be done using this procedure. The exceptions are changing your trip number, changing the date portion of your ETA, changing your shipment control number, adding a shipment or removing a shipment. For instructions on making those changes, please refer to the section below on Cancelling and Resubmitting.</p>

<div class="bc-card">
<h3><span class="bc-step-circle">1</span> Make the change in BorderConnect</h3>
<p>If you are changing more than one of these things, you should complete all of them before moving on to the next step.</p>
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
* <strong>Port of Arrival or ETA:</strong> Changes (NOT including date) can be made using the <strong>Edit</strong> button near the top left of the page. Once the changes are made clicking <strong>Save</strong> will update the manifest in BorderConnect.
* <strong>Truck, Trailer, Drivers or Passengers:</strong> These can be made by clicking the <strong>Remove</strong> link on each to remove them from the manifest if desired, and <strong>Quick Assign Truck</strong>, <strong>Quick Assign Trailer</strong>, <strong>Quick Assign Driver</strong> and <strong>Assign Passenger</strong> to add new ones.
* <strong>Seal Numbers:</strong> Click the <strong>View</strong> link on the trailer or truck, depending on where the seals are located. From there you can add, remove or edit the seals. Once finished, use the <strong>Back to ACE eManifest</strong> button.
* <strong>IIT Status:</strong> Can be added to the truck or trailer by mousing over the <strong>Set IIT Status</strong> button and selecting the appropriate exemption. One can be removed by clicking the <strong>Remove IIT Status</strong> link on the truck or trailer.
* <strong>Shipper, Consignee or Commodity:</strong> Click the <strong>View</strong> link for the shipment. From there, you can use the <strong>Remove from Shipment</strong> link on the shipper or consignee you want to change, then <strong>Assign</strong> or <strong>Quick Assign</strong> the new one. The <strong>Edit</strong> link can be used instead if you want to fix a mistake. Similarly, you can update commodity information by using the <strong>Edit</strong> link for the commodity, or click <strong>Create Commodity</strong> to add an additional commodity to the shipment.
* <strong>Shipment Type:</strong> Click the <strong>View</strong> link for the shipment, and use the <strong>Edit</strong> button inside the shipment. Once you've changed your Shipment Type, click <strong>Save</strong>, then use <strong>Back to ACE eManifest</strong> to return to the manifest details page.
</div>
</div>

<div class="bc-card" style="margin-top: 20px;">
<h3><span class="bc-step-circle">2</span> Transmit the changes to CBP</h3>
<p>Now that the changes have been made in BorderConnect, CBP will require an amendment to see them. Use the option <strong>Amend Completed eManifest</strong> under Send to CBP to transmit your changes to customs.</p>

<div style="margin: 15px 0; text-align: left;">

</div>
</div>

<div class="bc-card" style="margin-top: 20px;">
<h3><span class="bc-step-circle">3</span> Verify Acceptance</h3>
<p>Sending your amendment will have updated your Current Status to <strong>Transmitted to CBP</strong>. When the amendment is accepted, the status will revert back to <strong>Complete Manifest On File with CBP</strong> or <strong>Complete Manifest and Entry Numbers On File with CBP</strong> and you will see an accepted response under the ACE eManifest History.</p>
</div>

<h2 style="margin-top: 40px; border-bottom: 2px solid #eee; padding-bottom: 10px;">Cancelling and Resubmitting</h2>
<p>To change your trip number, the date portion of your ETA, your shipment control number, or to add or remove a shipment, you will need to cancel and resubmit instead of amending. You won't have to re-enter the manifest in BorderConnect; the cancel just takes it out of CBP's system. Please note the changes in this section can only be made <strong>prior to the driver's arrival</strong> at the border.</p>

<div class="bc-card">
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
1. <strong>Cancel the manifest with CBP:</strong> This must be done before you make any changes to the trip number or date so that CBP knows which manifest you are trying to cancel. Under <strong>Send to CBP</strong>, select the option <strong>Cancel Completed eManifest</strong>.
2. <strong>Confirm Cancel Acceptance:</strong> When the cancel is accepted by CBP, the status will change to <strong>Cancelled Manifest</strong> and you will see an accepted response in the ACE eManifest History.
3. <strong>Make your changes in BorderConnect:</strong>
** Changes to the <strong>trip number or date</strong> can be made using the <strong>Edit</strong> button near the top left of the page. Once you've made the changes, clicking <strong>Save</strong> will return you to the manifest details page.
** Changes to your <strong>shipment control numbers</strong> can be made by clicking the <strong>View</strong> link for the shipment, and using the <strong>Edit</strong> button inside the shipment. Once you've changed your shipment control number, click <strong>Save</strong>, then use <strong>Back to ACE eManifest</strong> to return to the manifest details page.
** If you need to <strong>add a shipment</strong>, click the <strong>Create New Shipment</strong> button located under the driver section. Complete the full information for the shipment and click <strong>Back to ACE eManifest</strong>.
** If you need to <strong>remove a shipment</strong>, click the <strong>Detach</strong> link on the shipment if you'd like to use it on a different manifest, or detach it entirely.
4. <strong>Resend the manifest to CBP:</strong> Under <strong>Send to CBP</strong>, select the option <strong>Send Complete eManifest</strong>.
5. <strong>Verify that the manifest is accepted:</strong> The manifest status will update to <strong>Complete Manifest On File with CBP</strong> and you will see an accepted response under the ACE eManifest History.

* <strong>Seal Numbers:</strong> Click the <strong>View</strong> link on the trailer or truck, depending on where the seals are located. From there you can add, remove or edit the seals. Once finished, use the <strong>Back to ACE eManifest</strong> button.
* <strong>IIT Status:</strong> Can be added to the truck or trailer by mousing over the <strong>Set IIT Status</strong> button and selecting the appropriate exemption. One can be removed by clicking the <strong>Remove IIT Status</strong> link on the truck or trailer.
* <strong>Shipper, Consignee or Commodity:</strong> Click the <strong>View</strong> link for the shipment.

<h3><span class="bc-step-circle">2</span> Transmit the changes to CBP</h3>
<p>Now that the changes have been made in BorderConnect, CBP will require an amendment to see them. Use the option <strong>Amend Completed eManifest</strong> under Send to CBP to transmit your changes to customs.</p>

<div class="bc-card" style="margin-top: 20px;">
<h3><span class="bc-step-circle">3</span> Verify Acceptance</h3>
<p>Sending your amendment will have updated your Current Status to <strong>Transmitted to CBP</strong>. When the amendment is accepted, the status will revert back to <strong>Complete Manifest On File with CBP</strong> or <strong>Complete Manifest and Entry Numbers On File with CBP</strong> and you will see an accepted response under the ACE eManifest History.</p>
</div>

<h2 style="margin-top: 40px; border-bottom: 2px solid #eee; padding-bottom: 10px;">Cancelling and Resubmitting</h2>
<p>To change your trip number, the date portion of your ETA, your shipment control number, or to add or remove a shipment, you will need to cancel and resubmit instead of amending. You won't have to re-enter the manifest in BorderConnect; the cancel just takes it out of CBP's system. Please note the changes in this section can only be made <strong>prior to the driver's arrival</strong> at the border.</p>

<div class="bc-card">
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
1. <strong>Cancel the manifest with CBP:</strong> This must be done before you make any changes to the trip number or date so that CBP knows which manifest you are trying to cancel. Under <strong>Send to CBP</strong>, select the option <strong>Cancel Completed eManifest</strong>.
2. <strong>Confirm Cancel Acceptance:</strong> When the cancel is accepted by CBP, the status will change to <strong>Cancelled Manifest</strong> and you will see an accepted response in the ACE eManifest History.
3. <strong>Make your changes in BorderConnect:</strong>
** Changes to the <strong>trip number or date</strong> can be made using the <strong>Edit</strong> button near the top left of the page. Once you've made the changes, clicking <strong>Save</strong> will return you to the manifest details page.
** Changes to your <strong>shipment control numbers</strong> can be made by clicking the <strong>View</strong> link for the shipment, and using the <strong>Edit</strong> button inside the shipment. Once you've changed your shipment control number, click <strong>Save</strong>, then use <strong>Back to ACE eManifest</strong> to return to the manifest details page.
** If you need to <strong>add a shipment</strong>, click the <strong>Create New Shipment</strong> button located under the driver section. Complete the full information for the shipment and click <strong>Back to ACE eManifest</strong>.
** If you need to <strong>remove a shipment</strong>, click the <strong>Detach</strong> link on the shipment if you'd like to use it on a different manifest, or detach it entirely.
4. <strong>Resend the manifest to CBP:</strong> Under <strong>Send to CBP</strong>, select the option <strong>Send Complete eManifest</strong>.
5. <strong>Verify that the manifest is accepted:</strong> The manifest status will update to <strong>Complete Manifest On File with CBP</strong> and you will see an accepted response under the ACE eManifest History.

<strong>Recommendation:</strong> <strong>eManifest Sync</strong> is always the recommended method for transmitting updates. The legacy send functions described in this guide should only be used in rare cases or when specifically instructed by support.
</div>

<h2 style="margin-top: 0;">Overview</h2>
<p>This guide assumes your manifest is already submitted and <strong>on file</strong> with CBP. The procedure for changing your manifest will depend on what part of your manifest you need to change. While it is possible to process most types of changes using an amendment, a few types of changes will need to be processed using different steps.</p>

<div class="bc-subtle">
<strong>Initial Step:</strong> For all types of changes, you will first want to bring up your manifest by using the <strong>ACE Manifest Search Page</strong> and clicking <strong>View</strong>.

<h2 style="margin-top: 0;">Overview</h2>
<p>An <strong>ATA Carnet</strong> is an international customs document that simplifies the <strong>temporary admission</strong> of goods into the United States. Often referred to as a "Merchandise Passport," it allows items to clear U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) tax-free and duty-free for up to one year, provided they are re-exported in the same condition.</p>

<p>It is commonly used to simplify the entry process for commercial samples, professional equipment, and goods intended for trade shows or exhibitions.</p>

<div class="bc-did-you-know" style="margin-top: 15px;">
<strong>Financial Guarantee:</strong> The Carnet serves as a financial guarantee. If the goods are not re-exported on time, the issuing chamber of commerce pays the assessed duties and taxes to CBP, and subsequently collects the funds from the carnet holder.<ref name="cbp-carnet-faq">CBP — ATA Carnet Frequently Asked Questions. https://www.cbp.gov/trade/programs-administration/entry-summary/ata-carnet-faqs</ref>

<h3>Reporting in ACE eManifest (Effective March 24, 2026)</h3>
<p>As of March 24, 2026, CBP requires carriers to electronically report ATA Carnets on their ACE eManifest prior to arrival to provide advance notice of the temporary import.</p>

<div class="bc-cleanlist">
1. <strong>Create Shipment:</strong> Start a new ACE Shipment in BorderConnect.
2. <strong>Shipment Type:</strong> You <strong>must</strong> select <strong>Carnet</strong> from the shipment type drop-down.
3. <strong>Shipment Control Number:</strong> Assign a unique SCN (SCAC + Number).
4. <strong>Required Carnet Data:</strong> Enter the <strong>Carnet Number</strong> and <strong>Carnet Expiration Date</strong> exactly as they appear on the physical document.
5. <strong>Commodity Details:</strong> Enter the Shipper, Consignee, and Commodity details exactly as listed on the Carnet.
</div>

<div class="bc-warning" style="margin-top: 15px;">
<strong>Important:</strong> The electronic ACE submission does <em>not</em> replace the physical document. The driver must still present the original Carnet booklet to the CBP officer for physical stamping upon both entry and exit.

<div class="bc-card" style="margin-top: 20px;">
<h3>Border Procedure</h3>
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
* <strong>Physical Paperwork Required:</strong> While the ACE eManifest notifies CBP electronically, the driver <strong>must</strong> present the original, physical ATA Carnet booklet to the CBP officer upon arrival.
* <strong>Validation (Entry):</strong> The CBP officer will physically stamp the importation counterfoil to open the visit and authorize the temporary entry.
* <strong>Validation (Exit/Re-Export):</strong> This is a crucial step. When leaving the U.S., the driver <strong>must stop at CBP</strong> to have the re-exportation counterfoil stamped, proving the goods have left the country. Failure to do this results in claims against the bond.<ref name="cfr-114-22">19 CFR § 114.22 — Coverage of carnets. https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/19/114.22</ref>

<div class="bc-card">
<h2 style="margin-top: 0;">Overview</h2>
<p>A <strong>Shipment Type</strong> (also called a clearance type or release option) is the method by which goods transported by a highway carrier obtain customs permission to enter a country.</p>

<p>In most cases, it is the responsibility of the <strong>Importer or Customs Broker</strong> to select the correct shipment type. The carrier's role is to transmit the data exactly as instructed.</p>

<div class="bc-did-you-know" style="margin-top: 15px;">
<strong>Golden Rule:</strong> Unless you are a self-carrying importer, <strong>never guess</strong> the shipment type. Always follow the instructions provided on the customs documents (Invoice/BOL) or by the broker.
</div>
</div>

<div class="bc-card" style="margin-top: 30px;">
<h3>🚀 Quick Start: Picking the Right Type</h3>
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
1. <strong>Country:</strong> Are you entering Canada (CBSA) or the USA (CBP)?
2. <strong>Clearance Location:</strong> Is the broker clearing it <em>at the border</em> (Pre-arrival), or is it moving <em>inland</em> to a warehouse (In-Bond)?
3. <strong>Commercial Status:</strong> Are the goods for sale/commercial use, or personal?
4. <strong>Special Programs:</strong> Is this a CSA, FAST, or Carnet load?
</div>
</div>

<div class="bc-card" style="margin-top: 30px;">
<h3>At a Glance: The "Big Two"</h3>

<h3>💡 Tips for Carriers</h3>
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
* <strong>Don't Guess:</strong> If the paperwork doesn't specify "In-Bond" or "PAPS", call the broker.
* <strong>One Manifest:</strong> All shipments on the truck (PAPS, In-Bond, and Section 321) must be on the <em>same</em> manifest.
* <strong>Empty?</strong> Even if you have no cargo, you often still need an "Empty" manifest (Trip only) to cross smoothly.

<h2 style="margin-top: 0;">Overview</h2>
<p>An <strong>ATA Carnet</strong> is an international customs document that simplifies the <strong>temporary admission</strong> of goods into Canada. It acts as a "Passport for Goods," allowing items to clear the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) tax-free and duty-free for up to one year, provided they are re-exported in the same condition.</p>

<p>In Canada, it serves as a highly efficient alternative to the standard Temporary Admission Permit (traditionally Form E29B, now transitioning to Form BSF865 under CARM).</p>

<div class="bc-did-you-know" style="margin-top: 15px;">
<strong>Financial Guarantee:</strong> The Carnet serves as a financial guarantee. If the goods are not re-exported on time, the issuing chamber of commerce pays the assessed duties and taxes to the CBSA, and subsequently collects the funds from the carnet holder.<ref name="cbsa-d8-1-7">CBSA Memorandum D8-1-7 — Use of A.T.A.

* <strong>Common Practice:</strong> Most carriers file an <strong>Empty ACE Manifest</strong> (Trip Only) if the truck contains <em>only</em> Carnet goods. The Carnet itself acts as the cargo document.

<h2 style="margin-top: 0;">Overview</h2>
<p>An <strong>ATA Carnet</strong> is an international customs document that simplifies the <strong>temporary admission</strong> of goods into the United States. Often referred to as a "Merchandise Passport," it allows items to clear U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) tax-free and duty-free for up to one year, provided they are re-exported in the same condition.</p>

<p>It is commonly used to simplify the entry process for commercial samples, professional equipment, and goods intended for trade shows or exhibitions.</p>

Shipment Types For ACE and ACI eManifest

2026-03-23T20:29:32Z

{{note|This article is part of the [[Shipment_Types_For_ACE_and_ACI_eManifest|Shipment Release Types Guide]]|info}}
<div class="bc-wrap">

<div class="bc-article-hero">
<h1>Shipment Release Types</h1>
<p>A comprehensive reference guide to customs clearance options for highway carriers entering Canada (ACI) and the United States (ACE).</p>
<div class="bc-article-meta">
<span class="bc-article-pill"><i class="fas fa-book"></i> Type: Reference</span>

</div>
</div>

<div class="bc-card">
<h2 style="margin-top: 0;">Overview</h2>
<p>A <strong>Shipment Type</strong> (also called a clearance type or release option) is the method by which goods transported by a highway carrier obtain customs permission to enter a country.</p>

<p>In most cases, it is the responsibility of the <strong>Importer or Customs Broker</strong> to select the correct shipment type. The carrier's role is to transmit the data exactly as instructed.</p>

<div class="bc-did-you-know" style="margin-top: 15px;">
<strong>Golden Rule:</strong> Unless you are a self-carrying importer, <strong>never guess</strong> the shipment type. Always follow the instructions provided on the customs documents (Invoice/BOL) or by the broker.
</div>
</div>

<div class="bc-card" style="margin-top: 30px;">
<h3>🚀 Quick Start: Picking the Right Type</h3>
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
1. <strong>Country:</strong> Are you entering Canada (CBSA) or the USA (CBP)?
2. <strong>Clearance Location:</strong> Is the broker clearing it <em>at the border</em> (Pre-arrival), or is it moving <em>inland</em> to a warehouse (In-Bond)?
3. <strong>Commercial Status:</strong> Are the goods for sale/commercial use, or personal?
4. <strong>Special Programs:</strong> Is this a CSA, FAST, or Carnet load?
</div>
</div>

<div class="bc-card" style="margin-top: 30px;">

<h3>💡 Tips for Carriers</h3>
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
* <strong>Don't Guess:</strong> If the paperwork doesn't specify "In-Bond" or "PAPS", call the broker.
* <strong>One Manifest:</strong> All shipments on the truck (PAPS, In-Bond, and Section 321) must be on the <em>same</em> manifest.
* <strong>Empty?</strong> Even if you have no cargo, you often still need an "Empty" manifest (Trip only) to cross smoothly.
