Updated ACE Agency Tariff Code AQX is now available for the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, CBP said in a CSMS message Sept. 8. The flag is available in the certification environment. Starting Sept. 11, the AQX code will begin to be assigned to HTS codes in the production environment, the message said. The flag for this entry will be given a "warning" severity, meaning that you can still file a new entry even if there is no disclaim code related to the flag. Disclaim codes A and B will be usable with the AQX flag, the message said. Filers who submit an entry with HTS flagged AQX without APHIS data or a disclaim will receive the following message: PU2 – DATA MSNG ON HTS – NO ACTN RQD AQX. Questions about the APHIS Core Message Set filing can be sent to ace.itds@usda.gov or addressed by the APHIS help desk at 1-833-481-2102 or the APHIS website.
