CSMS # 69177694 - Information from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Related to CPSC’s PGA Message Set (eFiling) Beginning July 8, 2026

Starting July 8, 2026, the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) will be implementing its PGA Message Set (eFiling).

This CSMS is being sent by CPSC to clarify that while other Partner Government Agency (PGA) integrations may require that integrated Automated Broker Interface (ABI) software prevent the filing of entries with missing or incomplete data for Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) codes with “MUST” flags, CPSC has chosen not to implement such a requirement. As stated in the final rule and published in guidance on CPSC's website, CPSC is not requesting that CBP reject entries for missing PGA Message Set data.

As such, software providers are not expected to require that filers provide a PGA Message Set for CPSC on any HTS code, regardless of the presence of a CP1 or CP2 flag. In other words, filers are allowed by CPSC regulation to send no CPSC message even if the HTS code is flagged as CP1 or CP2. However, CPSC does encourage the implementation of advisory messages to ensure that filers are aware that PGA data is, or may be, required on their submissions (depending on the HTS code).
