US Partner Government Agencies (PGA)

The Partner Government Agencies (PGA) module is a cross-platform tool within ONESOURCE that allows you to manage and/or report PGA data where applicable.
PGA consists of the government agencies participating with the modernization of automated cargo systems by becoming a part of the ACE Single Window: the trade filing system used by United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
This PGA Message Set is designed to convey the general Partner Government Agency (PGA) data required to satisfy PGA reporting. This data set will be used as the single record layout for all input from the trade for PGA data and will replace the Other Government Agency (OGA) data sets such as the FD, DT, and FC records. This set is intended to be submitted as part of the ACE Entry Summary or ACE Cargo Release.
