CSMS # 53535247 - TTB PGA Data - Alcohol Importer Permit Validations Certification Deployment
The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau’s (TTB) PGA Message Set requires importers to submit a valid TTB permit number at time of cargo release filing for all non-exempt alcohol importations into the United States. Specifically, when PG14 LPCO Type = “TZ3”, importers are required to submit a permit number in the LPCO Number field unless there is an exemption from the permit requirement. In addition, importers may submit only one TZ3 record per PGA entry line. Alcohol importers will receive a warning if the submitted TTB Alcohol Importer permit is not valid at the time of entry. This change has been deployed in CBP’s Certification environment for testing purposes. Please reach out to your assigned CBP Client Representative if you have any questions related to your ability to file in CERT. Another CSMS will be issued to let the trade know the date this change is expected to be deployed in production.
