Abstract: Against the backdrop of the global cross-border e-commerce market’s rapid expansion—with transactions projected to reach $2.5 trillion by 2025 (UNCTAD, 2023)—the U.S. Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) system, which processes over 95% of U.S. import declarations, has become a critical regulatory barrier for enterprises entering the U.S. market. This study systematically identifies four core compliance risks faced by cross-border e-commerce enterprises when interfacing with the ACE system: data timeliness risk, coding accuracy risk, traceability risk, and privacy protection risk. By integrating the technical practice of Beijing Mint Information Consulting Co., Ltd.’s “Cross-Border Trade Express” system, a three-tiered integration architecture (interface layer-data layer-application layer) is proposed, and targeted technical solutions are developed for each risk dimension. Empirical validation through 12 enterprise cases (8 successful, 4 failed) shows that: (1) The three-tiered architecture reduces data transmission latency by 83.3% (from an average of 30 minutes to
