{{#ev:youtube|LfbA8W-R9S0|360|right|Importing 10,000 or more shipments into an ACE Manifest}}By default users can only upload 9999 shipments into a single ACE Manifest, which is enough for most users who wish to import Section 321 shipments into an ACE for example. However, in some cases more shipments will need to be added to a single ACE Manifest.

However, in some cases more shipments will need to be added to a single ACE Manifest.


Importing 10,000 or more shipments into a single ACE Manifest involves creating multiple ACE Manifests and importing no more than 9999 shipments into each separate ACE Manifest, then moving the imported shipments from the second (or third) ACE manifest, back to the original manifest using the Link Shipments to Trip feature.

If these ACE Manifests only contain Section 321 shipments no entry numbers will be provided and three blue bars is the status that will remain on the ACE Manifests until the driver arrives at the border. It’s also important to note that CBP will see all of the shipments on the original ACE Manifest that we created, so be sure to show the driver lead sheet for the original trip only when arriving at the border.
