Automated Broker Interface (ABI)

The Automated Broker Interface (ABI) is an interface for communicating with CBP's (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) Automated Commercial System (ACS) and Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) systems. ABI permits qualified participants to electronically file required import data with CBP.
ABI is a voluntary program available to:
  • Brokers
  • Importers
  • Carriers
  • Port Authorities
  • Independent Service Centers
ABI expedites the release of merchandise for the trade community. Entry summaries are electronically transmitted, validated, confirmed, corrected, and paid. Administrative messages keep participants informed of all current information and issues.
Participants can query manufacturer information and entry/entry summary processing status.
ABI allows filers to pay multiple entries with one payment transaction through statement processing. ABI filers can also pay CBP duties, fees, and taxes electronically through the Automated Clearinghouse (ACH).
This online help is designed to provide a functional overview on how to complete the required information in the ONESOURCE ABI Software.
