U.S. In-Bond Manager

A complete guide to electronically filing, updating, and monitoring U.S. in-bond shipments directly with CBP via ACE.

Type: ACE Compliance Time: 20 Minutes

Overview

The BorderConnect U.S. In-Bond Manager is an add-on module that allows users to electronically file, update, and monitor U.S. in-bond shipments directly with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

The module supports required electronic reporting of in-bond arrivals, exports, diversions, and related updates through ACE, while also providing visibility into in-bond status through integrated In-Bond Status Queries.

Enforcement Notice: Since July 29, 2019, CBP requires all covered in-bond arrivals, exports, and diversions to be reported electronically through ACE. Paper CBP Form 7512 is no longer accepted for these functions.[1]

Key Compliance Requirements

Regulatory Rules & Deadlines
