CSMS #45781926 - APHIS Core Message Set SO70 Entry Status Notifications from Plant inspection Stations

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Plant Inspection Stations (PIS) will send filers Entry Status Notifications (SO70) through the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) beginning January 25, 2021 only for cargo destined to a PIS. Notifications will follow an APHIS automated “may proceed,” and may include requests for filers to correct or update APHIS Core Message Sets; however, cargo in transit to the PIS can and must continue to the PIS.

APHIS recommends using the ACE PGA Correction (CA) transaction to correct APHIS Core Message Set data. The ACE Cargo Release replace (SE R) transaction may impact multiple Partner Government Agencies and require CBP Officer approval in ACE for the transaction to proceed. APHIS also recommends reviewing the genus and species on phytosanitary certificates and permits for spelling errors prior to submission. In addition, filers should use PLANT UNIT (ACE CATAIR Appendix PGA code PTU) for PG26 unit of measure when appropriate.

Please contact your local Plant Inspection Stations for clarification regarding correction requests. For help with the APHIS Core Message Set filing please visit our website or send an email to ace.itds@usda.gov.
