CSMS #40953112 - ACE Agency Tariff Code Update

The Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) Agency Tariff Code Reference document on CBP.gov has been updated, which can be found under the “PGA Message Set Documents” tab at https://www.cbp.gov/trade/ace/catair. AM7 and AM8 were added in anticipation of an upcoming Partner Government Agency (PGA) Message Set, which is currently being developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)/Agriculture Marketing Service (AMS), related to the National Organic Program. In addition, HTS codes will soon begin to include these flags, starting in the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) CERTIFICATION environment.

USDA/AMS is currently working on updating their Implementation Guide, which will include information and instructions about this new message set. There will be a review session with trade users to review the document. In addition, future CSMS messages will inform trade users about the schedule as to when this program will be available in the CERTIFICATION and PRODUCTION environments.

Any USDA/AMS-related questions should be directed to Jonathan Veley, Director, Trade Systems, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agriculture Marketing Service, 1400 Independence Ave, Washington, DC 20250; 202.690.1312; jonathan.veley@usda.gov.
