How to Download Your Entry Data from ACE (ES-003 Report)

Every U.S. importer has its own entry data in ACE, CBP's Automated Commercial Environment, and can download it through the ACE Portal. The most useful report is ES-003, Entry Summary Line Tariff Details, which lists every entry line with its HTS number, value, quantity and duty. It is the starting point for an audit, a drawback claim or an IEEPA refund, and it does not depend on your broker sending you anything.

What you need first

• An ACE Portal account for your company, with an importer trade account. Your trade account owner can create user accounts.
• Access to reports for your importer number.

What ES-003 contains

• Entry details: Entry number, entry date, port and filer.
• Line details: HTS number, description, country of origin, quantity and value.
• Duty details: Duty rate and amount, including Chapter 99 lines such as Section 301 and IEEPA.
• Status: Liquidation status and dates.

How to run it

• Open the ACE Reports area in the ACE Portal.
• Choose the entry summary line report, ES-003.
• Set the date range and your importer number. Large ranges may need to be run in pieces.
• Export to a spreadsheet or CSV.

Related reports cover entry summaries at the header level and other views. Your ACE portal holds five years of this data, which matches the drawback look-back period.

What to use it for

• Audit: Find classification, origin and Chapter 99 errors. See the customs audit guide.
• Drawback: The import side of every claim. See the duty drawback guide.
• IEEPA refunds: Identify every 9903.01.xx line. See IEEPA tariff refunds.
