U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has posted on cbp.gov the Partner Government Agency (PGA) Message Set Implementation Guidelines (IGs) for the PGAs and associated forms that must be electronically submitted to the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) at the time of entry or entry summary by November 1, 2015. Please visit the following link: http://www.cbp.gov/trade/ace/catair

The PGA Message Set IGs are categorized in the following folders: 1) Implementation Guidelines: Ready for Coding; and 2) Implementation Guidelines: Draft/In Review. The IGs that are “Ready for Coding” have been reviewed by the trade in the Trade/PGA Working Groups and updates have been made based on trade input. The IGs that are in “Draft/In Review” are still undergoing Trade/PGA Working Group review. Per completion of the trade Working Group reviews, these IGs will be moved from the “DRAFT” folder to the “Ready for Coding” folder. The trade is requested to review all of the IGs and begin making the necessary system programming changes.
