Brokers and importers are reminded that the law requires pre-approval from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to import – either electronically or manually – all HTS Chapter 36 explosives (product type EXP) and defense articles listed on the U.S. Munitions Import List.

Please note that ATF forms or permits many not be submitted through the ACE Document Image System (DIS). Any ATF-specific data filed electronically must be submitted through ATF’s PGA message set.



For additional information, please refer to the ATF Supplemental Guidance at https://www.cbp.gov/document/guidance/atf-supplemental-guidance-ace or ATF Lead: Desiree M. Dickinson (304) 616-4584.
