ACE, AES, PGAS, and Where We Stand

November 14, 2016

2016 has brought many changes to the trade community with mandatory dates for ACE and numerous PGAs (Partner Government Agencies) integration.  CBP published in January of 2016 the revised AESTIR (Automated Export System Trade Interface Requirements).  The AESTIR publication defined the requirements from PGAs with regards to AES transmissions.  JAS Forwarding USA, Inc. already has the ability to capture and report all the new required data elements electronically.

The PGA’s which require additional PGA data elements are:

  • Department of State – DDTC
  • Department of Treasury – OFAC
  • National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service – NMFS
  • Agricultural Marketing Service – AMS
  • Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives – ATF
  • Drug Enforcement Administration – DEA
  • Environmental Protection Agency – EPA
  • Fish and Wildlife Service – FWS
  • Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau – TTB

As of September 20, 2016 only the National Marine Fisheries Services (NMFS) is mandatory.  Additional agencies are expected to announce mandatory dates into 2017.  JAS Forwarding USA Inc. Compliance is working on filing any export filings which require PGA data elements.  Contact us today!
