Centers of Excellence and Expertise Directory

CBP utilizes team codes as a tool to track work within the Centers and CBP designated new Centers team codes within the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) modules in June, 2020.

  • The new team codes follow an alphabetical format, e.g. ABC, where the first letter will represent a Center, and the secondary and tertiary letters will be used by the Centers to direct transactions to a specific work unit or team.
  • The new team codes will automatically be used in lieu of the previously utilized numerical teams on newly submitted entry summaries. Pre-existing team codes remain in effect for pre-existing transactions, but will phase out as the associated entries liquidate.
  • Please refer to CSMS #43089259 for additional details
