This guide explains how to import a large number of shipments into an [[ACE_Manifest_Software_User_Guide_(CBP)|ACE eManifest]] using BorderConnect’s CSV upload feature.
<div class="bc-card">


BorderConnect also offers a newer, more user-friendly option called the '''[[Import_Wizard_(ACE_and_ACI_eManifest)|File Import Wizard]]''', which provides a guided import experience in one place. The Import Wizard supports multiple file types (including CSV and Excel formats) and can import many types of data used throughout ACE and ACI eManifests, such as shippers, consignees, vehicles, trailers, drivers, passengers, and shipments.

|}


== Step 1: Enable Import Buttons ==
<p>BorderConnect also offers the <strong>[[Import_Wizard_(ACE_and_ACI_eManifest)|File Import Wizard]]</strong>, a broader tool for importing permanent company data (drivers, trucks, profiles).</p>


By default, some companies have import buttons disabled.
<div class="bc-did-you-know" style="margin-top: 15px;">
<strong>Which Tool Should I Use?</strong><br>
* <strong>CSV Upload (This Guide):</strong> Best for quick, trip-specific bulk shipment uploads directly into one manifest.<br>
* <strong>Import Wizard:</strong> Best for importing standing data like driver profiles, truck lists, or maintaining customer databases.
</div>


To enable imports:
<div style="clear: both;"></div>
</div>


# Go to '''Account'''
<h2 style="margin-top: 40px; border-bottom: 2px solid #eee; padding-bottom: 10px;">Step 1: Enable Import Buttons</h2>
# Click '''Company Settings'''
# Under '''eManifest Preferences''', set '''Display ACE Import Buttons''' to '''Yes'''
# Click '''Save'''


Once enabled, the import controls will appear when creating or editing an ACE eManifest.
<div class="bc-card">
<p>By default, the import controls may be hidden. To enable them:</p>
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
1. Go to <strong>Account</strong> > <strong>Company Settings</strong>.
2. Scroll to the <strong>eManifest Preferences</strong> section.
3. Set <strong>Display ACE Import Buttons</strong> to <strong>Yes</strong>.

<h2 style="margin-top: 40px; border-bottom: 2px solid #eee; padding-bottom: 10px;">Step 3: Prepare Your Data</h2>


Important rules:
<div class="bc-card">
<h3>Shipment Control Number (SCN)</h3>
<div class="bc-cleanlist">
* <strong>Format:</strong> Must be 8-16 alphanumeric characters. No spaces or special characters.
* <strong>Autofill:</strong> To let BorderConnect generate numbers, use your SCAC followed immediately by "AUTOFILL" (e.g., <code>ABCDAUTOFILL</code>).
* <strong>Rule:</strong> Do not mix manual SCNs and AUTOFILL in the same file.
</div>


* Do not rename, remove, or reorder the column headers
<h3>Shipment Type</h3>
* Save the file as '''CSV''' format before uploading
<p>Values must match exactly (case-sensitive):</p>
* CSV is required even if you edit it using Excel or another spreadsheet tool
<table class="wikitable" style="width: 100%;">
<tr><th>Type</th><th>Value</th></tr>
<tr><td>PAPS</td><td><code>PAPS</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>Section 321</td><td><code>SECTION 321</code></td></tr>
<tr><td>Intangibles</td><td><code>INTANGIBLES</code></td></tr>

== Step 4: Import the CSV Into an ACE eManifest ==
 
To import shipments:
 
# Start a new ACE eManifest or open an existing one for editing
# Click '''Choose File''' and select your CSV
# Click '''Save'''
 
A message will confirm whether the import succeeded or list the rows that failed validation.
 
Note: The button may reference JSON, but CSV files are accepted for this import tool.
 
[[File:Ace-upload-shipments.png|800px|center]]
 
== Importing 10,000 or More Shipments ==
 
{{#ev:youtube|LfbA8W-R9S0|360|right|Importing 10,000 or more shipments into an ACE Manifest}}
 
BorderConnect supports importing up to 9,999 shipments per manifest by default.
 
If you need 10,000 or more shipments on one trip, the process is:
 
* Create multiple manifests and import up to 9,999 into each
* Use '''Link Shipments to Trip''' to link shipments back to the original manifest for CBP processing

== Common Import Errors ==
 
This section lists common CSV upload errors and how to correct them.
 
=== Shipment Control Number Errors ===
 
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
Can't perform import since AUTOFILL shipment numbers are combined with explicitly stated shipment control numbers.
</pre>
 
Cause:
* Some rows use SCAC+AUTOFILL and others use manual SCNs
 
Fix:
* Use AUTOFILL for all rows or remove AUTOFILL entirely
 
Also check for blank rows containing only commas near the bottom of the file.
 
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
SCAC Code [AAA5] is invalid. Must be 4 alphanumeric characters. [AAA5459071]
</pre>
 
Cause:
* SCAC is not exactly 4 characters
 
Fix:
* Correct SCAC to 4 alphanumeric characters
 
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
Shipment Control Number is invalid, it must be 8-16 alphanumeric characters with no spaces and letters must be uppercase. [AAAA545907321321321131]
</pre>
 
Cause:
* SCN too long or invalid format
 
Fix:
* Ensure 8 to 16 characters, uppercase, no spaces
 
=== Shipment Type Errors ===
 
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
Shipment Type [SECTION 321] is invalid [AAAA5459071]
</pre>
 
Cause:
* Incorrect value format
 
Fix:
* Use the valid value exactly as specified in the Shipment Type table
 
=== Shipper Errors ===
 
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
Province of Loading code [BX] unrecognized. [AAAA5459071]
OR
Province of Loading code [British Columbia] unrecognized. [AAAA5459071]
</pre>
 
Fix:
* Use province/state abbreviations only, example: BC
 
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
Shipper Name [...] invalid. Must be between 1 and 60 characters, with no accents or other invalid characters. [AAAA5459091]
</pre>
 
Fix:
* Shorten the name to 60 characters or fewer
 
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
Shipper Canadian Postal Code [VSS 1A1] invalid. [AAAA5459219]
</pre>
 
Fix:
* Ensure valid Canadian postal code format
 
=== Consignee Errors ===
 
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
Consignee State [California] is invalid or does not match with country [US]. [AAAA5459219]
</pre>
 
Fix:
* Use 2-letter U.S. abbreviations, example: CA
 
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
Consignee U.S. Zip Code [4321] invalid. [AAAA5459219]
</pre>
 
Fix:
* Use 5 digits or ZIP+4 format
 
Note: Spreadsheet tools can remove leading zeroes.
A ZIP like 04321 may become 4321 and fail validation.
 
A common workaround is to format the cell as text or use:
''="04321"''
 
=== Commodity Errors ===
 
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
Unknown packaging unit [box]. [AAAA5459219]
</pre>
 
Fix:
* Package codes must match exactly, example: BOX
 
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
Shipment commodity weight is invalid. It must be numeric [0.63]
</pre>
 
Fix:
* Weight must be a whole number, round up to 1 if under 1
 
<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">
Commodity weight unit [POUNDS] is invalid. [AAAA5459219]
</pre>
 
Fix:
* Use valid units: L, LB, LBS, or LBR
