Mandatory use of ACE for all electronic manifest filing.
• Transition period begins: ACE filing of electronic entry and
associated entry summary types 01, 11, 03, 51, 52 with or without
PGA data is encouraged.
• ACE must be used and ACS will no longer be available for filing of all
electronic entries and associated entry summaries. In addition,
electronic FDA, NHTSA, APHIS (Lacey) data must be filed in ACE
and ACS will no longer be available.

PGA Forms for ACE
http://www.cbp.gov/document/guidance/ace-november-1-pga-forms
Document Image System (DIS)Overview and Benefits:
The Document Image System (DIS) facilitates automated
submission of documents and specific data by participating
Trade Partners to CBP.
Documents requested for Cargo Release purposes, use DIS
only.
Documents requested for post release purposes, use DIS or
upload via ACE Portal.
Note: An Action ID is required to upload via the ACE Portal. The
Action ID is provided when 2nd UC message is received.
The submitted documents are electronically processed and
securely stored by CBP.
Submitted documents are made available for review by CBP and
Partner Government Agencies (PGAs) via the DIS application.
DIS will facilitate a single automated gateway that will accept
supporting documents that may be needed during the cargo
importation and entry summary processes.
For more information, please refer to the DIS
Implementation Guide:
http://www.cbp.gov/document/forms/dis-implementation-
guide
Additional DIS resources may be found on the Features
page on www.cbp.gov/ace
Trade participants may contact their local Client
Representatives Branch for trade onboarding procedures
for transmitting documents to DIS via ABI.
15
DIS Document Transmission MechanismsElectronic Data Interchange (EDI) - The preferred mechanism of document transmission in DIS is via an XML payload transmitted to CBP via any one of three EDI technical mechanisms:
1. Secure FTP,
2. Secure Web Services, or
3. Existing ABI MQ mechanism
Note: EDI is of greater value in a fully automated scenario for technically advanced, high volume trade partners since it is supported by a modern, robust, guaranteed delivery and processing infrastructure
Email - DIS will allow all documents to be transmitted via Email.
Associated meta data is sent in Subject line and Body of email
Note: Email is more suitable in scenarios that are ‘Quick-Easy-And-Interim’; Semi-Automated, and Low-Volume (total email size including all attachments may not exceed 10MB).
Meta-Data - Meta-data is associated data submitted by the trade along with a transmitted document.
Meta-data elements are used to:
Link the document to supporting contextual data
Search for specific documents within DIS
Further describe a transmitted document
Provide specific transactional references for that document (Entry Summary, Bill, etc.)
