How to create and track ACE In-Bond sequences in BorderConnect.
Accessing ACE In-Bond Sequences from ACE eManifests menu option

The ACE In-Bond Sequence Search Page is where the user can create and manage sequences of In-Bond entry numbers assigned to them from CBP and entered into BorderConnect ACE Manifest software or U.S. In-Bond Manager. There are many search options available. By default, the search will display in-bond sequences chronologically. The most recent at the top.

BorderConnect's ACE In Bond Sequences feature is designed to automate some of the record-keeping of carriers who file their own bonds in ACE eManifests or file QP In-Bonds using BorderConnect U.S. In-Bond Manager. Using this feature will allow you to automatically:

  • Generate the In Bond Entry Number check digit.
  • Assign the next Entry Number in the sequence to each bond you create.
  • Keep track of which Entry Number was used when, and with which Shipment Control Number.
  • Generate a spreadsheet report detailing the usage of each Entry Number in the sequence.

The ACE In-Bond Sequences/In-Bond Sequences page can be accessed from the ACE eManifests menu option, the Manage Data menu option or from the U.S. In-Bonds menu option and selecting 'In-Bond Sequences'.
