CBP Reschedules Support Call for New Mail Entry Type 13 Test
CBP title: Update: Rescheduled Pre-Deployment Support Call for Implementation of Entry Type 13 Test in ACE for U.S. Mail Processing (INT-057) and Mail Entry Type 13 Test (CBP-290)
What did CBP announce?
CBP rescheduled the Pre-Deployment Support Call for the ACE Entry Type 13 test covering international mail processing to September 15, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. ET. The Post-Deployment Support Call stays on October 7, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. ET. Both calls cover upcoming ACE enhancements for the Entry Type 13 test (INT-057, CBP-290) for mail shipments.
What is Allied's position?
We are monitoring this ACE test because it may eventually change how we file entry type 13 for mail shipments. No filing procedures change because of this notice, and clients do not need to take any action now. We will tell clients if CBP finalizes rules that affect their mail entries.
General information, not legal advice.
