The Agriculture Marketing Service (AMS) has posted the below updated PGA Message Set document to www.cbp.gov at the following link:
AMS CATAIR Guidelines, updated as of March 30, 2016
http://www.cbp.gov/document/guidance/ams-catair-guidelines
Summary of Changes: A Change Table is included in the document
Please note from Page 53 of the CATAIR:
The following PGA records are NOT supported in AMS PGA messages and if included can cause unexpected results:
• PG50 and PG51 (Block Start and End)
• PG55 (Additional Entity Role Codes)
• PG60 (Text overflow field)
Support for the PG60 record will be added to the AMS message set as soon as possible. Until then, address fields should be abbreviated to avoid text overflow and email addresses should be left blank when the address exceeds 35 characters.
