CBP Replaced ACE IDs With FAST IDs For Truck EDI Filings
CBP announced that effective February 24, 2026, the ACE Truck environment began using FAST IDs instead of ACE IDs as the standard identifier for FAST ID transmissions via ACE EDI. The ACE ID method for this purpose was retired. This affected truck carriers submitting FAST ID information through ACE EDI. CBP told users with questions to contact Cargo Control and Release or their client representative.

This change concerns truck carriers who submit FAST ID data through ACE EDI, not the customs entries we file for importers. Because CBP made this a permanent identifier change, it still applies today. Clients do not need to act. Carriers still using FAST ID services should register or manage their ID through the Trusted Traveler Program website.
CBP posted new truck export manifest EDI guides in February 2026
CBP announced in February 2026 that it had posted new Truck Manifest implementation guides for the ACE Electronic Export Manifest system, covering X.12 and UNEDIFACT standards. These were the first versions of these guides, not updates to earlier ones. The guides covered truck carrier cargo, crew, passenger and conveyance reporting messages.

This message concerns technical data formats that truck carriers and their software providers use to file export manifests with CBP. It does not change entry filing requirements for the entries we handle. Clients do not need to act on this notice.
CBP asked filers to resend air manifest EDI messages from a Feb 19 outage window
CBP announced that Air Manifest EDI bill transmission messages submitted between 5:05 a.m. and 9:45 a.m. ET on February 19, 2026 needed to be resent to ensure timely manifesting. The notice was informational and directed technical questions to CBP's Cargo Control and Release team or to client representatives. It applied only to air carriers and filers affected by that specific transmission window.

This was a one-time technical fix tied to a brief system issue on February 19, 2026. It no longer affects entries we file today. Clients do not need to act on this notice now.
The summaries and positions are general information, not legal advice. Always check the official CBP message, which each page links to.
