CBP is looking for volunteer importers and their filers to participate in an upcoming pilot that will combine the Simplified Entry filing with selected data elements from the PGA Message Set. The focus will be cut flowers imported by air through the Miami Airport. By using the UNSPSC code numbers to identify the specific flowers imported, we hope that the shipment examination time by the CBP Agricultural Specialist will be shortened, allowing for faster overall release of the flowers.
Filers who volunteer will need to fulfill the qualifications for Simplified Entry and be able to submit the additional PGA Message CATAIR records. Once the volunteer filers have been identified, an information session will be conducted to provide specifics on the PGA Message Set data and the overall plan for this pilot. Please follow the directions for application for the Simplified Entry Pilot as detailed in the August 14, 2012 FRN for new participants (FR Doc. 2012–19931). Applications to participate in Simplified Entry and the Cut Flower Pilot must be sent via email to cbpsimplifiedprocess@dhs.gov and include a note that you wish to participate in the Cut Flower Pilot in Miami. The closing date for new participants is September 4, 2012.
For further information on the Cut Flower Pilot, please send an email to Susan.Dyszel@dhs.gov.
