Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) is one of 5 APIs that [Customs and Border Protection](https://apis.io/providers/customs-and-border-protection/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include ACE, Admissibility, Cargo, EDI, and Imports. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation and a getting-started guide.

ACE is the U.S. Single Window through which the trade community reports imports and exports and CBP and Partner Government Agencies determine admissibility. Trade users access ACE via the ACE Secure Data Portal (a free web-based interface) and via ACE Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), which uses CBP-approved CAMIR/AESTIR messaging standards. The ACE Portal modernization program completed user access management migration in February 2025.
