The US Customs and Border Protection announced in today’s Federal Register Notice that ACE e-Manifest Phase I will begin for Idaho and Montana starting Monday, August 6, 2007. This affects all trucks entering through land ports in both those states.

Remember, Phase I means you don’t need to file an e-Manifest when going through these ports (you won’t get turned around at the border), but it would be best to start trying. Consider it an opportunity to get to know ACE e-Manifest if you haven’t had the opportunity yet.
