CBP plans to begin the second phase of Partner Government Agency pilot programs to test filing in the Automated Commercial Environment on Sept. 2, CBP said in a CSMS message (here). The second phase will include an expansion of the ports involved, the agency said. During the first phase last week, Food and Drug Administration and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration entry data transactions were "successfully transmitted, accepted and processed" in ACE, said CBP.

CBP said it created Harmonized System Update (HSU) 1506 on Aug. 24, containing 10,074 ABI records and 1,696 harmonized tariff records. The update includes the addition of Partner Government Agency indicators for future Lacey Act submissions, said CBP (here). Adjustments required for the verification of the 2015 Harmonized Tariff Schedule are also included, CBP said in a CSMS message. The modified records can be retrieved electronically via the procedures indicated in the CATAIR. Further information: Jennifer Keeling, Jennifer.Keeling@dhs.gov.
CBP plans to eventually post liquidation notices on the agency's website, said a CBP spokeswoman by email. "As part of the [Automated Commercial Environment] Single Window initiative, efforts are underway to automate liquidation notices and have them posted on cbp.gov at some point in the future," she said. Currently, liquidation notice bulletins are posted at individual ports of entry on a weekly basis, as required by regulation. It's unclear whether CBP plans to do away with the paper bulletin, which would require a change to CBP regulations. The idea for electronic posting has been discussed for several years and was even included in a White House budget proposal in 2013 (see 13050924).
