ACE Validation of FIRMS Codes for In-bond Arrivals, Excluding Air Mode of Transportation (MOT)

This information notice provides guidance that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will deploy enhancements to the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) to validate the Facilities Information and Resource Management System (FIRMS) codes for in-bond arrivals, excluding arrivals by air. This enhancement will, for non-air modes of transportation, enforce existing requirements that brokers/filers provide a valid FIRMS code when arriving an in-bond.
