U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued CSMS #000452 to announce that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) has published the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Implementation Guide. This 46-page document contains the technical specifications for ACE.
FWS begins the international trade process with a determination of whether the commodities in international trade are subject to FWS review and clearance. Although the Endangered Species Act and the Lacey Act grant FWS the broad authority to inspect any shipment imported or exported, whether or not such shipments are openly declared as wildlife, FWS limits the commodities for which the trade must file detailed data and images.
