point the entry summary control status is updated to “CBP.” Authorized CBP users may

modify an entry summary in “CBP” control via the ACE Portal. As changes are made to the

entry summary, ACE tracks the versions. The number to the right of the decimal reflects

CBP changes (e.g., v 1.01, 1.02). Changes made by the trade are reflected in the number to

the left of the decimal (e.g., v. 2.0, 3.0) after the entry is in CBP control, such as when the
