There are a number of changes being deployed for PGA business rules based on the latest PGA IG updates that were previously posted. The following list outlines the various PGA IG updates and their respective CERT and PROD deployment dates. The information in this CSMS supersedes any previous CSMS messages regarding deployment dates for this functionality.
APHIS Lacey IG 3.1- CERT: NLT 10/15/16 and PROD: 11/22/16
ATF IG 1.15- CERT: NLT 10/15/16 and PROD: 11/22/16
The detailed description of the changes are as follows per PGA:
•APHIS Lacey:
o PG05 outside of the PG50-51 grouping can have SPECIAL as a genus, but if it does have SPECIAL as a genus then the only allowed species values are "PREAMENDMENT", "SPF", "COMPOSITE", "RECYCLED", "RECLAIMED" or “NONE”.
o A PG29 can only be present when the HTS is either 4401xxxxxx or 4402900000 and it must be present in a PG50-PG51 grouping.
o If PG29 is used in a PG50-PG51 grouping, PG04 Quantity and Unit of Measure must not have a value, the quantity and UOM will be reported in the PG29 record instead. For APHIS Lacey, the valid UOM codes in the PG29 are the same as the UOM codes associated with the Lacey Act in the PG04 record.
o The following records went from mandatory to conditional: PG14 and PG27
•ATF:
o Addition of new error codes for imports: PDN, PDO, PDP, PDQ, PDR, PDS, PDT, PDU, PDV, PDW, PDX, PDY, PDZ, PEA, PEB, PEC, PED
o Increased Severity for the following error codes from warning to reject: PDO, PDS, PDU, PDX, PED
o Removed the following error codes: PR4, PR5, PU7, PV0
o Updated error code PH8
In addition, for entry type 06, CBP will begin enforcing the HTS flags for APHIS Lacey on 11/29/16. This means that if an HTS code is filed that is flagged as having APHIS Lacey requirements and APHIS Lacey PGA data is not provided, the entry/entry summary will be rejected. For regular type 06 entries, the flagging will be enforced at the time of cargo release and for weekly type 06 entries, the HTS flagging will be enforced at the time of entry summary. This flagging functionality will be available in CERT no later than 11/11/16.
