The Edit ACE eManifest Page allows you to update the core trip details of an existing U.S. ACE truck manifest in BorderConnect. This page is typically used when arrival times change, a different port will be used, or the trip number needs correction before transmission to CBP.

You can open this page from the:

ACE Manifest Details Page by clicking the Edit button in the top-left corner.

When should you edit an ACE manifest?

Use this page when you need to:

Correct or change the trip number
Update the U.S. port of arrival
Adjust ETA due to delays or rescheduling
Fix entry errors before CBP transmission

🔖 If the manifest has already been transmitted to CBP, some changes may require a change or amendment request instead of simple edits.
