CBP Automates ACE Secure Data Portal Process

[ November 7, 2025   //   ]

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on Oct. 30 automated the process for applying for a new Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Secure Data Portal (ACE Portal) top account with the Importer sub-account view.

For trade parties with an existing CBP Form 5106 (5106 record) on file with CBP and without existing ACE Portal account access, this enhancement will modernize the process for accessing the importer sub-account features available in the ACE Portal.

For more information, including details on planned deployment support calls, review the Automated ACE Portal Application for Importer Accounts Information Notice. (https://tinyurl.com/323z7yds).

When ACE Portal applicants use the modernized application tool, CBP will verify the applicant by sending a verification code to the email address that is listed on the 5106 record that’s on file with CBP. CBP advises all parties with 5106 records on file with CBP to ensure that the contact information listed, including email address and phone number, is current.

For importers’ 5106 records that are managed by customs brokers, brokers should ensure that current importer contact information is provided, CBP said.
