CBP to End ACE Pilot for FSIS Data

CBP will end its ACE pilot for data required by the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on Oct. 11, CBP said in a notice (here). "This notice announces that CBP has determined that ACE is fully capable of accepting electronic entries transmitted to ACE with the [Partner Government Agency] Message Set data required for FSIS-regulated meat, poultry, and egg products," CBP said. "The electronic transmission of this data to ACE expedites delivery of this data to FSIS, thereby providing the data to FSIS before the products arrive for inspection." CBP began the pilot in 2013 (see 13121219).
