Progressive Filing Model – • Airlines for America recently created a concept known as the Progressive Filing Model (PFM). • The PFM will allow a forwarder to electronically submit all or most of the data from the CBP form 7509 via ACE. • The new requirement will be for forwarders to file the 7509 via ACE before loading of the cargo on the aircraft.
