CPSC Mandatory ACE FTZ filings: Operator/User/Administrator Session

NAFTZ Members:

Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) mandatory ACE FTZ filings will begin in January 2027, and the NAFTZ Automation Committee is inviting members—especially FTZ Operators and Administrators—to join our January 27, 2026 discussion to share real‑world preparation experiences and help shape practical guidance for the community.

• Date: Tuesday, January 27, 2026

• Time: 3:00–4:00 PM (U.S. Eastern)

While 2027 may seem like a lifetime away, especially under our new tariff environment, there is a lot of work to be done to prepare.  Currently, CPSC has not published their finalized, complete, list of HTS numbers that will require PGA data reporting.  You may be impacted by these new requirements and are not aware.  During our call, we will do a quick review of CPSC requirements and business impacts to ensure a basic understanding for those still needing to educate themselves.

FTZ operations face unique compliance and systems challenges compared to traditional entries.

We will also be compiling member insights on topics such as:

• Preparing certificate data for 3461 Cargo Release and aligning it with ACE message set requirements

• Managing multiple certificates per product utilizing the Full and Reference message sets

• Identifying pitfalls in the CATAIR message set and best practices to avoid holds and delays

• Practical approaches FTZs are using today to get ready for 2027

This call is open to all NAFTZ members—committee membership is NOT required to participate. FTZ Operators/Administrators and partners with hands‑on CPSC filing experience are especially encouraged.

Zoom meeting information will be sent to Automation Committee members and all additional registered attendees.

You’re welcome to attend the call without being an Automation Committee member. If you’d also like to apply to join the Automation Committee, please submit your application here:
