Automate the ACE Portal with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

• Newly issued CBP Forms 28 and 29, every morning

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 7:00 Eastern

  Step 1

  Check the ES-013 CBP Form 28, 29, 4647 Status Report for forms issued in the last 7 days.

  Step 2

  Keep the forms that were not there on the last run.

  Step 3

  Email you each new form with its type, entry summary number and importer number.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get monthly statements” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "ace.cbp.gov/get_monthly_statements",
    "input": {
      "statement_month": "2026-11",
      "importer_number": "12-3456789-00"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "statement_month": "2026-11",
    "statements": [

        "total_amount_due": 51337.95
      }
    ],
    "count": 1
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

The ACE Portal’s own options

CBP offers no API for the ACE Portal. Machine filing goes through EDI, after you contact a CBP Client Representative and test with CBP. Running reports is done only in the portal, where ACE Reports also offers an Authorized Data Extract of up to 2,000,000 rows.

Signing in to the ACE Portal

The ACE Portal asks for your username and password, then a security token code that CBP emails to the address on your account. The code expires after five minutes and every login needs a new one. With Fous you sign in once through the portal's own sign-in with your own account: the login is sealed with AES-256, the emailed code is handled, and an expired session is signed back in.

Worth knowing

Forms reach the importer's account

CBP delivers Forms 28, 29 and 4647 to importer ACE Portal accounts, not to broker accounts. A broker gets only an email courtesy copy, and only when both accounts are set up for it.

Several accounts mean a Trade Account ACE ID

If your user has more than one account, some report universes add a mandatory Trade Account ACE ID prompt. A method you build for them then takes that ID as an input.

Monthly statements are due on the 15th working day

A periodic monthly statement covers shipments entered or released in the previous calendar month and is paid by the 15th business day of the following month. Filers mark the entry summaries to pay on it and pay through ACH.

The hotlist covers 90 days

The Sent folder in the Hotlist shows forms less than 91 days old that await a response. Advanced Search finds all forms, and each file uploaded to DIS can be at most 10 MB.
