Attn: ABI Software Developers

PGA Manifest Hold functionality was deployed to the ACS Cargo Release Entry System to accommodate ACE eManifest: Sea and Rail on September 29, 2012.

As stated in CSMS Message #12-000383, CBP will be notifying the trade via CSMS when PGAs are brought on board and begin using this functionality.

Please consider this message as notification that, in the near future, USDA-APHIS will begin using this functionality and as a result you may begin to receive the Disposition Codes in Appendix U of the CATAIR in the R7 record of the ACS CATAIR Cargo Release Chapter. This chapter also includes the fields for disposition date, time, code, and narrative in the R7 record.

The ACS CATAIR Cargo Manifest Status Query chapter has been modified to include the R7 output record to send the new PGA Manifest Hold status message(s) when appropriate for an entry.

The ACS CATAIR Cargo Release Chapter and Cargo Manifest Status Query Chapters are located on the CBP website at:

http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/trade/automated/automated_systems/abi/catair/chapters/

Appendix U - Disposition Codes and Narrative Messages - PGA Manifest Hold Status Messages is located on the CBP website at:

http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/trade/automated/automated_systems/abi/catair/appendices/

CBP will be notifying the trade via CSMS as additional PGAs are brought on board and begin using this functionality.

Should you have any questions, please contact your Client Representative.
