ACE/ITDS Vision
To implement a secure, integrated, government-wide system for the electronic collection, use, and dissemination of the international trade and transportation data essential to the missions of federal agencies.
5
Integration of ITDS with ACEIntegrated government-wide functionality for the electronic
collection, use, and dissemination of international trade data
Develop and integrate Participating Government Agencies (PGAs) functionality in ACE
Supports mission requirements for border processing of commercial shipments, conveyances, individuals, and access to trade data with interface for government agencies
