The document discusses a workshop on electronic filing of certificates held by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). It provides an overview of the CPSC's current and proposed rules regarding certificates of compliance for imported consumer products. The CPSC aims to modernize certificate collection by requiring electronic filing of certificates with U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the time of entry. This is intended to streamline the entry process and allow the CPSC to more efficiently review products for safety. The document also outlines the CPSC's risk assessment methodology and collaboration with CBP through data sharing and a pilot risk assessment system.

4. Presentation Acronyms
 HTSUS – Harmonized Tariff Schedule specific to the
United States
 ITDS – International Trade Data System
 CBP – U.S. Customs and Border Protection
9/19/2014 4

5. Certificates – Current
 CPSA section 17(a)(2) - requires the
Commission to refuse admission for
regulated products not accompanied by a
certificate
 CPSA section 14(a)(2) – requires testing and
certification before importation
 CPSA section 14(g)(3) – requires certificates
to accompany the product or shipment of
products, as well as be provided to CPSC
and CBP upon request.
9/19/2014 5

6. Existing 1110 Rule
 Paper or electronic certificates (URL typically on the
product, container, or invoice)
 Electronic certificates must be created before
importation
 Available to CPSC and CBP as soon as the product
or shipment itself is available for inspection.
 In practice, Certificates:
 Obtained and reviewed at the time of entry through
broker or importer which may take time to present
and may delay release
 No ability to assess industry compliance with
requirement
9/19/2014 6

7. Certificates - Proposed
 Proposed rule (proposed 16 CFR §1110.13) –
certificates for imported products must be filed
electronically with CBP at the time of filing the CBP
entry or at the time of filing the entry and entry
summary, if both are filed together.
 Aligns with Executive Order 13659: “Streamlining the
Export/Import Process for America's Businesses”
 Entering required data elements for certificates at the
time of entry would allow the agency to
 Electronically review and facilitate release
 Prioritize examinations with certificate data at entry
9/19/2014 7

8. Risk Assessment Methodology (RAM)
 CPSA Section 17(h)(1) Requires CPSC to:
 Establish and maintain a permanent product surveillance
program, in cooperation with other federal agencies, to
carry out the Commission’s responsibilities and to
prevent the entry of unsafe consumer products into the
commerce of the United States.
 CPSIA Section 222(a) Requires CPSC to:
 Develop a Risk Assessment Methodology (RAM) that
identifies shipments of consumer products that are
 (1) intended for import into the United States; and
 (2) likely to include consumer products in violation of
Section 17(a) of the CPSA (15 USC 2066(a)) or other
import provisions enforced by the Commission.
9/19/2014 8

9. Risk Assessment Methodology
(RAM)
 CPSIA Section 222(b) requires CPSC RAM
development to:
 Use CBP’s ITDS insofar as practicable,
 Incorporate the RAM into CPSC’s IT
modernization plan, and
 Examine how to share information with CBP for
the purpose of identifying risky shipments.
9/19/2014 9

31. Implementing the Single Window
Three enablers provide the means for Partner Government
Agencies (PGAs) to participate in ITDS/ACE
 Partner Government Agency (PGA) Message Set - Establishes
a single, harmonized set of information to be collected
electronically from international traders by CBP on behalf of PGAs
 Interoperability Web Services - Provides a system-to-system
pipeline for data transfer between CBP and PGAs
 Document Image System (DIS) - Allows trade members to
supply images of needed documents electronically during the
cargo import and export processes
The ACE portal provides PGAs with a graphical user interface (GUI) to
view the data in ACE, search on that data and run reports. The ACE portal
is a consistent interface across PGAs that differs only by their particular
information and processing needs.

33. PGA Message Set Processing Benefits
 Today, PGA data is submitted manually via paper forms, requiring human
intervention and manual correlation with transactions
 PGA Message Set extends existing CATAIR message set to allow
submission of PGA data electronically to CBP along with entry and entry
summary filings
 The Single Window will streamline transmission, processing and distribution
of PGA data, yielding significant cost savings and efficiency:
 Trade and multiple government agencies will no longer exchange information via
multitude channels during the cargo release process
 Data will be available to agencies more quickly, allowing for better identification
of dangerous or prohibited shipments
 Automated PGA interactions reduce paper and enable near-real time decision
making by Government authorities
 Single Window makes it easier for industry to comply with government
regulations and reduces costs for Government and industry

41. Food Safety and Inspection Service:
Mission in Action
We are the public health
agency in the USDA
responsible for ensuring
that meat, poultry, and
processed egg products
are safe, wholesome, and
accurately labeled.
• Federal Meat Inspection Act (FMIA), 1906
• Agricultural Marketing Act (AMA), 1946
• Poultry Products Inspection Act (PPIA), 1957
•Humane Methods of Slaughter Act (HMSA), 1958
• Egg Products Inspection Act (EPIA), 1970
Our Authority
Through a series of Acts, Congress
empowers FSIS to inspect all meat,
poultry, and processed egg products
in interstate commerce.
41

42. Public Health Information System (PHIS)
o Designed to collect, consolidate, and analyze data derived from both domestic
inspection and foreign country inspection systems
o Centralized computer database that generates random import inspection tasks and
stores inspection results, based on:
• Exporting country, process category, species, performance
o Interconnected with US Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Automated
Commercial Environment (ACE)
o Pre-populates shipment data received from industry, enhancing controls and reducing
fraud
• PHIS connection to ACE
• Partner Government Agency (PGA) Message Set
 PGA Message Set Pilot underway with two brokers making entries at three POEs with
nationwide implementation to follow
o GOAL: to streamline the Customs entry process and transition away from paper –
based application process for FSIS import inspection
42

43. PHIS
o Enables interface with U.S. Customs and Border
Protection’s Automated Commercial Environment (ACE)
system
• Business-to-government exchange of shipment data
• Provides FSIS Advance Notice when Customs entry filed
• Replaces paper application for inspection (Form 9540-1)
 Uses existing data collected by CBP
 Incorporates FSIS specific data into the CBP standard data set
(UN/CEFACT and WCO compliant)
43

44. o Importers are required to apply for
FSIS import inspection for all
entries of meat, poultry, and egg
products
o An Entry or Entry Summary
Certified for cargo release in ACE,
combined with the PGA Message
Set, will eliminate the need for
paper applications
• An electronic FSIS Form
9540-1 will expedite the
clearance process on
regulated shipments
FSIS Import Application (FSIS Form 9540-1)
44

45. o Electronic import application
in PHIS retrieves data from
ACE
• PGA Message Set data completes
the data fields missing from the
FSIS import application
o For example
• Broker information provides local
broker first name*, last name*,
phone number,* email address*
or fax number
o *Data fields are required in
PHIS import application
• PHIS utilizes information to
exchange electronic messages
between FSIS and Trade
Current Partial Data Feed

PG21 LOCAL BROKER FAX NUMBER IS 313-666-7771
46

47. FSIS Data Grouping
The PGA Message Set accommodates the following “many-to-one”
data relationships:
o Many inspection certificates to one entry
• The PG 50 and 51 start and end the groupings
• Multiple PG 14 (inspection certificates) may relate to the PG
13 (the foreign government that issued the certificate)
o Many lots within one inspection certificate
• The PG 50 and 51 start and end the groupings
• Multiple data lines providing specific lot information are
related to the PG 14 (inspection certificate)
47

48. Foreign Inspection Certificates
o FSIS requires all imported meat, poultry and egg products to be properly
certified by the competent authority in the exporting foreign country
o The electronic import application in PHIS uses a combination of
information supplied in part from Trade and from the foreign inspection
certificate
• Currently PHIS receives official certification data electronically from Australia,
New Zealand, and the Netherlands*
• For shipments certified electronically, when importers/brokers identify the
inspection certificate number through the PGA Message Set, FSIS PHIS will
populate the import application based on the eCert data
o Filers making entries from countries that do not certify shipments
electronically must provide additional PGA Message Set data identifying
product attributes
*Note: FSIS will develop the capability to exchange official certification data
electronically with other foreign governments
48

49. FSIS Message Set Pilot
o The FSIS PGA Message Set Pilot began on April 27, 2014
o FSIS pilot has two Customs brokers actively participating:
• A.N. Deringer, Broker Filer, Code 551
• Barthco International Inc. dba OHL International, Broker Filer Code
OHL
• Customs brokers participating in the pilot have the option to file
entries with or without the complete message set data elements
o Pilot entries are at three ports of entry:
• Champlain, NY, Port Code 0712
• Philadelphia, PA, Port Code 1101
• Houston, TX Port, Code 5301
49

50. FSIS Message Set Pilot
o From April 27, 2014 through September 4, 2014, the two participating
brokers in the FSIS pilot have submitted a combined 109 entries through
ACE utilizing the PGA message set representing 4.5 million pounds of
product under FSIS jurisdiction
o Entries filed are for product from Canada, Australia and New Zealand
o Product from Australia and New Zealand are interfacing with government-to-government
inspection certificate data exchange (eCert)
50
Message Set Entries by Import Country of
Origin
Canada (A.N.Derringer)
Australia (OHL combined with
eCert)
New Zealand (OHL combined
with eCert)

51. FSIS Message Set Pilot
o 87% of the pilot entries had no identified issues
o 13% of the pilot entries to date had identified issues
o Types of issues encountered:
o Data mapping both internal to FSIS and external to filer software use
o HTS conflict (1 entry)
Note: No identified issues delayed shipment movement or reinspection of
product by FSIS. No data transfer issues from ACE to FSIS have been
identified.
51

52. FSIS Message Set Pilot (software validations)
o Automation of eCert pre-population of the application based on the
PG14 record from the filer
• 42 entries submitted validated the success of eCert filings from
Australia and New Zealand systems.
o Multiple inspection certificates (PG14) identified on a single entry
• 6 entries submitted with multiple certificate numbers and PHIS created
separate applications based on the PG14 records as expected
o Increase shipment monitoring capabilities to prevent Failure to
Present (FTP)
• PG 30 record facilitates FSIS monitoring
o Elimination of FSIS import inspectors to manually enter application
data increases efficiency of reinspection process

Government @ TB November 2013 Public Meeting
Recommendations
Unified Filing of Entry Information
Entry and PGA data sent well in advance
of cargo arrival
CBP and PGA review data in advance of
cargo arrival, screening for data
accuracy, importer & product
compliance etc.
Clear PGA responses to filer at the line
level
Sound Risk Assessment methodologies
employed (prefer to use data not

70. 13th Term COAC 1 US
Government @ TB Trusted Trader Program
 Expedited clearance for known importers
 Leverage CBP and Trade’s investment in C-TPAT,
ISA or FS
Single Window Efficiencies
 Collect only the data required and utilize
data collected for other purposes for the
PGA data whenever possible
Consider alternative method of identifying
importers/exporters/foreign facilities – DUNS
number?
 Risk Assessment Methodology system must be
robust, recognizing compliant importers,

71. 13th Term COAC 1 US
Government @ TB Single Window Challenges
Ability to timely obtain the right data from
the actual importer well in advance of
cargo arrival
Key entry errors – they will occur! The more
data required, (especially free form, not
table driven) the greater the chance for
errors
Management of data across all PGA
message sets will be a challenge to the entry
filer and the importer. Data creep is a major
concern for the trade community
When data anomalies occur, immediate
feedback to the filer must be given in form of
71

72. Business Needs & Realities
The Global Supply Chain is constantly evolving
– legitimate trade should be managed as
efficiently as possible
Non-resident Importers of Record are
becoming more common.
Business to Consumer (B2C) shipments are
increasing
Trade moves 24/7 – need the PGAs to make
admissibility decisions well in advance of
arrival to keep goods flowing.
 Set High vs Medium vs Low Risk Priorities and
perform post entry audits.
 Staged implementation (similar to APHIS
72

73. Keys to Success
Vigorous Trade Participation in ACE
The more you test, the more you learn about
the system, the process and the data
requirements, and the more efficient the
trade will become in managing the data.
 Participation in PGA Pilots by Importers and
Brokers who will be affected by the PGA
message set for that Agency is critical to the
success of the PGA Pilot.
 Data Quality Issues can be addressed
 Mutual Understanding of the Data
Requirements and Commercial Availability of
the Data can be achieved
 The Pilot is an important exercise to ensure
