CSMS # 57619851 - APHIS Tariff Code AQX Flagging in PROD Will Begin on September 11, 2023

As noted in CSMS 56966260, an updated ACE Agency Tariff Code = AQX is now available for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). This flag is available in CERT. Starting Monday, September 11, 2023, AQX will begin to be assigned to HTS codes in PROD.

This flag will be enforced with a ‘warning’ severity, meaning filers will not be prohibited from submitting an entry without APHIS Core Message Set data or a disclaim related to this new flag (i.e., the entry won’t be rejected).

The AQX flag allows disclaim codes A and B to be used.

Filers who submit an entry with an HTS flagged AQX and who do not submit APHIS data or a disclaim, will receive this message: PU2 – DATA MSNG ON HTS – NO ACTN RQD AQX.

For help with the APHIS Core Message Set filing, please visit the APHIS website, send an email to ace.itds@usda.gov, or call the APHIS help desk at 1-833-481-2102.
