A Partner Government Agency (PGA) outreach event is being held in San Diego, CA to help inform brokers and the trade community of some important changes that will affect the processing of import and export filings. As the remaining entry and entry summary types are transitioned to the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) and become unavailable for filing in U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) Automated Commercial System (ACS), the Border Interagency Executive Council (BIEC) will oversee CBP and the PGAs as they transition to collecting import/export data via the “single window” concept.

The presenters of this seminar are subject matter experts from PGAs that develop policies and processes to collect electronic data for agency review with streamlined responses back to the users. These presenters are eager to engage with and consider the advice of industry and other relevant stakeholders regarding opportunities to make objective suggestions for improvement in collecting information.
