PGA - Partner Goverment Agency

Overview

 PGA are government agencies that regulates commodities that are being imported or exported. These agencies work alongside CBP  to ensure that goods comply with all regulations and standards before it enter(or leave) the country.

 All brokers and carriers are required to submit necessary information as mandated by these agencies to CBP before the goods are imported or exported to United States . PGA is submitted as part of ACE Entry summary transmission. If the HTS summary line within ACE requires a PGA filing, there would be one set of the PGA Message record submitted as part of our T86 submission.
