Partner Government Agency (PGA) Clearance Services
Regulatory Scope & Official Admissibility Overview
Over 40 U.S. Partner Government Agencies (PGAs) enforce strict admissibility rules alongside U.S. Customs. Regulated products cannot be released into U.S. commerce until specialized electronic data sets (PGA Message Sets) are filed and approved in the ACE platform.
