In the August 6, 2015, Federal Register, AMS announced a pilot test of the International Trade Data System ("ITDS") involving the electronic submission of data related to importations of fruits, vegetables, and specialty crops regulated by AMS, using the Partner Government Agency ("PGA") Message Set component of the Automated Commercial Environment ("ACE") system. The pilot program will test the electronic transmission of AMS data through the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's ("CBP") ACE program, known as PGA Message Set, which enables importers and brokers to electronically transmit data required by AMS directly to ACE. This electronic process will replace the paper-based process currently used. The notice also invites importers and brokers who are importing commodities subject to section 8e regulations to request participation in the AMS pilot, and invites public comment on any aspects of the pilot.
