  COMING SOON TO GISTNET: ABI ACE filings in a test environment. GISTnet is partnering with Magaya Customs Compliance (ACELYNK) to provide an opportunity to practice filing actual Entries in a test environment. It is an actual ACE Software program online, no download required. For inquiries email GISTnet staff.

  In order to take this course you must use ACE Software that has a test environment which does not submit to CBP. Printing of the 7501, billing and bond form is also necessary. This course is made up of several case studies for practice in filing entry in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). Case studies should be taken only after completion of the prior 8 courses in the "Introduction to U.S. Customs Brokerage" series, for proper continuity. This requirement can be waived for entry-writers with prior training:

  1. CB1u—Intro to U.S. Customs Brokerage: Part 1, The Players, Functions and Business of a Customs Broker
  2. CB2u—Intro to U.S. Customs Brokerage: Part 2, Customs Broker Transactions, Supervision and Work Flow
  3. CB3u—Intro to U.S. Customs Brokerage, Part 3: Cargo Release Processing; Surety Bonds
  4. CB4u—Intro to U.S. Customs Brokerage, Part 4: Documentation and Admissibility; Product Compliance and Marking Requirements
  5. CB5u—Intro to U.S. Customs Brokerage, Part 5: U.S. Customs Tariff (HTSUS) Classification
  6. CB6u—Intro to U.S. Customs Brokerage, Part 6: Customs Appraisement, Value and Duty Calculation
  7. CB7u—Intro to U.S. Customs Brokerage, Part 7: Trade Agreements and Supporting Documentation
  8. CB8u—Intro to U.S. Customs Brokerage, Part 8: Post-Entry Summary Filing Operations and CBP Enforcement

  In this course, we offer Air, Ocean and Border Case studies to provide practice with obtaining information from sample documents, determining whether trade agreements or partner government agencies are involved, duty, fees, entry type, importer of record, continuous vs. single entry bond, etc.

  The case studies require the use of ACE software in the ABI system with the capability to create an entry summary and single entry bond without transmission to CBP, and a customer invoice. All three documents must be printable. If your ABI system does not have this functionality, we have a temporary solution.

  Please note: company-specific case studies, including those with Standard Operating Procedures (SOP's) can be created using this or any software that has a test system. If your company is facing compliance issues, this would be a good way to reduce errors.
