That new option, which is “an interim step,” should begin in the “next month or two,” he said. Beyond that, the FWS and a COAC working group will look to expand the FWS data collection to allow the agency to better police imports and clear goods more quickly, Skud said. FWS and CBP have also resolved issues of Designated Port Exception Permit (DPEP) process-ing within ACE, FWS Senior Wildlife Inspector Sheila Einsweiller said. As of the next implementation guide, “we will have the programming in place to be able to accommodate” the DPEP process, she said. The agency is also getting ready to put in place a new system for “disseminating our public bulletins,” Einsweiller said.

CBP to Turn Off ACS for Stand-Alone Prior Notice by March 9, Require FSVP Filing May 30

CBP intends “to shut off [Automated Commercial System] Prior Notice Stand-alone transactions by March 9,” the Food and Drug Administration said in a presentation at the March 1 Port of Newark quarter-ly brokers meeting. Also, the FDA noted that Foreign Supplier Verification Program information must be submitted through ACE starting May 30 for certain food products. A new application program interface for software vendors to incorporate a product code builder into software packages is also in the works, the FDA said. The interface is the result of requests for a product code query meant to help prevent rejections due to invalid codes, it said.
