🔖 This article is part of the BorderConnect ACE Manifest Guide |
Watch: Creating Master and Split Shipments.
Overview
A Split Shipment occurs when a single PAPS entry is transported across the border in multiple loads due to size or operational needs.
Important Rule
Split shipments must be arranged by the importer/broker before the carrier moves the loads. CBP approval is required.
⚙️ Enable Split Shipments (One-Time Setup)
Before starting, ensure this is enabled in your account:
- Go to Account → Company Settings.
- Under ACE Shipment Settings, set Allow ACE "Split Shipments" to Yes.
- Click Save.
Phase 1: The Master Shipment
The Master Shipment holds the total quantity for all loads combined. It is created first and sent to CBP as an "Unassociated" shipment.
1 Create the Shipment
- Navigate to ACE eManifests → Start New ACE Shipment.
- Enter the SCN (PAPS), Shipper, Consignee, and Commodity.
- Crucial: Enter the Total Quantity for all loads combined.
- Click Save.
2 Send to CBP
- On the Shipment Details page, hover over the menu Shipment Only Send to CBP.
- Select Send Unassociated Shipment.
- Wait for the status to change to Accepted.
Phase 2: The Split Segments
Once the Master is accepted, create a separate manifest for every physical truckload.
1 Link the Segment
- Start a New ACE eManifest and enter Trip/Driver info.
- Click Save and Start New ACE Shipment.
- Enter the Same SCN used for the Master.
- Check the box: ☑ Split Shipment Segment.
- Enter the quantity for this specific load only.
Final Step: Click Save (commodity info will auto-fill), then click Sync with CBP. Repeat this for every load until the total quantity reaches zero.
