Mandatory ACE Electronic Manifest - We are ready!
Thompson Emergency Freight has been ACE approved and successfully filing E-Manifests since May 2006.
What is ACE?
The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) is part of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) modernization effort to expand the use of state-of-the art technology and increase
information sharing among government agencies. May 24,2007 is the date for informed compliance
for most of the U.S.-Canada borders, ports of Detroit, Port Huron as well as Buffalo are in this release.
What are the Requirements?
Carriers are required to send manifests electronically 30-minutes before the truck reaches
the border for FAST shipments and 1-hour for E-manifests, in order to speed up processing
time at the port. CBP officers will have entry and manifest data before arrival,
enabling the carrier to move legitimate trade across the border faster.
How does this affect your freight?
Non-compliant carriers will be turned back at the border with their cargo, or
delayed at the border until CBP receives the cargo information electronically
and will also face heavy monetary penalties.
Freight Firm Delivers
Thompson Emergency is devoted to helping others in our community.
We kept a Christmas tradition alive this year by sponsoring needy families through
the Windsor Downtown Mission. Now, in it's 10th season, this years program benefited
a family of four and three elderly women. Management matched donations by employees,
and a significant discount offered by a local retailer made it all possible. In addition,
our yearly Food Drive was a huge success, all canned goods and non-perishable items
donated to the Windsor Downtown Mission.
