Note for CF3461 Self-Filers
If your company is a self-filer or manages Participating Government Agency (PGA) data within FTZ Management, a PGA View button will become available for lines where the HTS number has been flagged by a PGA in the ABI updates set by CBP.
The PGA button will only appear by default if the PGA has the HTS Number flagged and they are a PGA requesting the transmission of PGA data at the time of Cargo Release (CF3461). Some PGAs (e.g. ATF and DDTC) do not flag HTS numbers.
If your company needs to report to a PGA that has not been flagged, please contact IntegrationPoint@ThomsonReuters.com. Support will be able to add the HTS number to your zone.
Zone operators will only see the ACE fields listed above if they are self-filing or the company’s broker interfaces have been modified to accommodate the ACE Data elements.
