The National Marine Fisheries Service is extending by an additional two days a grace period for new filing requirements on high-risk seafood imports (see 1712190028), CBP said in a CSMS message. Originally set to end April 7 (see 1802080025), NMFS is extending the “informed compliance period” for Seafood Import Monitoring Program ACE filing requirements until April 9 “to establish its conclusion on a weekday.” The extension “was determined to be in the best interest of trade and NMFS,” allowing “more resource availability of NMFS and CBP support personnel to confer with and assist trade should there be any release issues,” the CSMS message said. “Beginning April 9, filings for products flagged for NMFS SIM (NM8) data, with no SIMP data, that are incomplete, or that contain erroneous SIM PGA data, must be corrected before they will be accepted.”

CBP and other involved agencies should finalize an "interagency approach to managing ACE that includes processes for prioritizing enhancements and sharing system costs," the Government Accountability Office said in a March 14 report. CBP is also considering keeping multiple options for how to move forward with the collections function, which has yet to move from the Automated Commercial System to ACE, GAO said. "CBP officials stated that the agency will continue to link the newly deployed post-release capabilities to collections in ACS while deciding how to proceed."
