CBP Concludes PGA Message Set FDA Pilot

CBP determined that ACE is capable of accepting Food and Drug Administration regulated electronic entries through the Partner Government Agency (PGA) Message Set, CBP said in a notice (here). As a result of that finding, CBP will end the pilot program effective May 2, it said. While that test is ending, "CBP is not, at this time, decommissioning the Automated Commercial System (ACS) for transmitting FDA data," CBP said. "Nonetheless, ACE is capable of accepting FDA-regulated electronic entries and CBP encourages all importers of merchandise regulated by the FDA to now use ACE for their electronic filings."
