Proper filing of the PGA data for the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Marketing Order (MO) 2 message set is necessary to expedite the release process. Incorrect inputting of the data will cause unnecessary delays and require an AMS, Market Development Division, Compliance and Enforcement specialist to request additional documentation from the Importer of Record. The requested information will be utilized to attempt a manual reconciliation, to allow for a manual triggering of the “May Proceed” message to be sent from AMS’s Compliance and Enforcement Management System (CEMS) to ACE. The below data elements, with the proper formatting, are needed from the filer to allow for an expedited release.
1) A PG14 record (LPCO) with the same weight unit of measure as the PG29 record (Net Quantity) per entry line of regulated product
2) A PG14 record (LPCO) that includes the date the inspection was performed by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) or Canadian Partners in Quality (C-PIQ) authorized establishment per entry line of regulated product
3) A PG14 record (LPCO) that includes the CFIA or C-PIQ inspection certificate number formatted exactly as it appears on the original certificate per entry line or regulated product
4) A PG29 record (Net Quantity) with the weight unit of measure as shown in the PG14 record (LPCO) per entry line of regulated product
5) A PG30A (Estimated Time of Arrival within the Borders of the United States) with date and time per entry line of regulated product
Entries that have already been filed without the data elements being input correctly, should be corrected with the proper data and re-submitted to ACE as soon as possible.
