The credential

An approved, ABI-certified CBP software vendor.

Stable passed CBP’s ABI certification testing — the process a vendor must clear before its software can transmit live entry and entry summary data into ACE. CBP publishes the list of certified ABI vendors; being on it is what lets your filings go direct, not through someone else’s connection.

What it does

Six capabilities, built
for filing directly to CBP.

Every capability assumes an approved-vendor connection to ACE and the real customs vocabulary your filers use — entry types, 7501 summaries, PGA sets, statements. Not a generic integration retrofitted for trade.

01: DIRECT TO CBP

File entries and 7501 summaries straight to ACE, as an approved vendor.

Stable is ABI-certified, so entries and CBP Form 7501 entry summaries transmit directly into ACE over the Automated Broker Interface — no third-party gateway, no re-keying between systems. The connection CBP certified is the one your filings ride on.

02: CARGO RELEASE

Clear ACE Cargo Release before the freight lands.

Transmit the pre-arrival cargo release and get a “MAY PROCEED” in hand before arrival. Release and entry summary are one workflow built on the same line data, so a released shipment and its 7501 never fall out of step.

03: PGA MESSAGE SETS

FDA, USDA-APHIS, EPA, NHTSA — sent with the entry, not after it.

Partner Government Agency data rides with the entry through ACE. Prior notice, product codes, and affirmations of compliance are built from the same lines, validated up front, and their dispositions post to the same status feed as CBP’s.

04: ACCEPT / REJECT

Real-time CBP status, with reason codes and one-click retry.

Every transmission returns a live response. Accepts and rejects land in a real-time feed with the CBP reason code attached, so a rejected line is fixable on the spot — correct the data and retransmit in place, no re-filing from zero.

05: STATEMENT & DUTY

Periodic Monthly Statement and duty payment, reconciled.

Duties and fees roll onto the Periodic Monthly Statement (PMS) and settle through ACE on schedule. Statement lines reconcile back to the entry summary that created them, so what CBP bills and what you filed always tie out.

06: VENDOR-GRADE TRUST

Approved-vendor reliability: SOC 2, uptime, and a full audit trail.

A certified connection to CBP is a standard to hold, not just a badge. Stable runs it with SOC 2 controls, monitored uptime, and an immutable audit trail — every 7501, PGA set, response, and correction retained and CBP-ready.

How it works

From built entry
to CBP response.

Four steps from assembling the entry to CBP’s real-time response, with validation before anything transmits over ABI.

01: BUILD

Assemble the entry and its CBP Form 7501 summary.

Pull entry lines from your broker system or importer ERP, set the entry type — 01, 03, 06, 11 — and Stable builds the entry and the 7501 entry summary from one record, PGA data included.

02: VALIDATE

Pre-file checks catch errors before CBP does.

HTS, valuation, quantities, and PGA data sets are validated against ACE edit rules up front, so the errors that would bounce a transmission are surfaced and fixed before anything reaches CBP.

03: TRANSMIT

Send over ABI to ACE as an approved vendor.

The entry, entry summary, and PGA message sets transmit directly into ACE through the Automated Broker Interface on Stable’s certified connection. Cargo release can go ahead of arrival.

04: RESPOND

Receive release, accept, or reject in real time.

CBP’s response — cargo release “MAY PROCEED”, entry summary accepted, or a line rejected with a reason code — posts to a live feed. Retransmit corrections in place; every version is logged.

Connections

Connects the systems your filings already run through.

Stable reads your broker software and your importers’ ERP, and transmits to CBP and the PGAs directly — so onboarding a new importer is a handoff, not an integration project.

Common questions

What filers ask us
before they transmit.

Yes. Stable passed CBP’s ABI certification testing — the vendor and client-representative process CBP requires before software may transmit live entry and entry summary data into ACE. CBP publishes lists of certified ABI software vendors, and that certification is what lets us file directly rather than routing through someone else’s connection. It is the credential this product is built on, not a marketing claim.
The common formal and informal types: 01 consumption, 03 antidumping/countervailing (AD/CVD), 06 foreign-trade zone (FTZ), 11 informal, plus warehouse and temporary-import variants. Each entry carries the right entry summary data set for its type, and the CBP Form 7501 is assembled from the same record you file the release against — no re-keying between cargo release and summary.
Yes. Partner Government Agency (PGA) message sets transmit with the entry through ACE, not as a separate step afterward. FDA prior notice and product data, USDA-APHIS, EPA, and NHTSA sets are built from the same line data, validated before transmission, and their dispositions — may proceed, hold, review — land in the same real-time status feed as the CBP response.
Yes. ACE Cargo Release (the pre-arrival release formerly filed as the SE/entry) can be transmitted ahead of arrival so a “MAY PROCEED” is in hand before the goods land. Release and the entry summary are handled as one workflow, so a released shipment and a summary line still under correction never drift out of sync.
Every ABI transmission gets a real-time CBP response. Accepts and rejects post to a live status feed with the CBP reason code attached, so a rejected line is actionable immediately — fix the data and retransmit in place, no re-filing from scratch. After acceptance, post-summary corrections (PSC) and the standard correction paths are supported, with every version retained in the audit trail.
