Transition to Paperless Customs Payments & Refunds

 On March 25, 2025, an Executive Order was issued eliminating the use of paper checks for payments to and refunds from US Customs, effective November 1, 2025. To ensure compliance and prevent potential issues, we strongly recommend that all US Importers register for an ACE Portal Importer Account.
