CBP Seeks Participants in NHTSA PGA Message Set Pilot

CBP will soon begin its pilot testing electronic filing of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration partner government agency (PGA) message set data in the Automated Commercial Environment, and is seeking participants from customs brokers and self-filing importers of motor vehicles and motor vehicle equipment, it said (here). Participants in the pilot will file data elements found in current paper form HS-7, with supporting documents such as the DOT conformance bond form (DOT HS-474) submitted electronically via a CBP-approved Electronic Data Interchange at any time prior to the arrival of the merchandise, said CBP. Brokers and self-filing importers that want to participate should email Clint Lindsay at Clint.Lindsay@dot.gov or Coleman Sachs at Coleman.Sachs@dot.gov, and should send a copy of that request also to their client representative at CBP’s ACE Business Office, said CBP.
