On September 18, 2017, CBP will deploy Disposition Code 63 stating; “Inbond Deleted After Arrival and Release” in CERT environment. On October 17, 2017, disposition code 63 will be deployed to Production. Disposition code 63 will be sent to the trade as a warning. An update to the ACE Cargo Release SO Status Notification guide is forthcoming.
- Appendix PGA
https://www.cbp.gov/document/guidance/appendix-pga
For the PG32 record, added code 11, place of Discharge.
For US Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), for the PG04 Unit of Measure, removed FWS-specific table since FWS does not use the PG04 record.
For the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for the PG26, FDA Units of Measure (Packaging Containers), changed Unit of Measure code, from IN=INGOT to ING=INGOT. This change for FDA will be implemented on October 26, 2017. Beginning October 26, 2017, FDA will no longer accept IN, and CBP will reject an entry if IN is transmitted in an FDA data set.
