WASHINGTON, D.C. – Representatives from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Office of Textiles and Apparel (OTEXA) will hold a webinar overview of the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) system for the textiles and apparel industries.

The event will include information on these topics, as well as a question and answer session for webinar participants:

 

• An overview of the transition to ACE from the Automated Commercial System (ACS), other legacy electronic systems, and paper filings, highlighting any specific impacts on textile and apparel shipments;

• Affected forms and new/updated business processes;

• Key upcoming dates, including the implementation of the ACE Quota module and other functionality on July 23; and

• An overview of how the transition to ACE will impact filings under OTEXA’s Haiti and Dominican Republic Earned Import Allowance Programs (EIAPs).
