Featured BorderConnect Screenshot

This BorderConnect screenshot is of the Assign ACE In-Bond Information page when creating an ACE In-Bond in BorderConnect. It is accessed when creating an ACE Shipment that requires in-bond information to be added to the shipment.

This page allows the user to add specific information to an ACE shipment related to an ACE In-Bond, such as adding the in-bond entry type, adding an in-bond entry number, a U.S. in-bond destination, a foreign destination if it qualifies as a type-62 Transportation and Exportation bond, bonded carrier ID, departure data, and other required bond information.

The Assign In-Bond Information page is required when in-bond shipments are created and submitted in the ACE system, as opposed to a customs broker filing them using ABI. (Full article...)
