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.

The Federal Register notice is the underlying legal authority; the CSMS is the operational implementation. Both should be read together when reconciling a rate or scope change.
