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.
