APHIS Reminds Stakeholders to Submit LPCOs in PG13 and PG14 Record Lines in APHIS Message Sets

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 56716301 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on June 22, 2023. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "APHIS Reminds Stakeholders to Submit LPCOs in PG13 and PG14 Record Lines in APHIS Message Sets". CSMS messages are the operational layer between Commerce determinations and at-the-border collections: when Commerce publishes a new rate, scope ruling, or instruction, CBP turns it into a CSMS that ACE/ACS systems and brokers act on.

Recently, the APHIS Core Message Team started sending notices to filers who are submitting incomplete or incorrect data for licenses, permits, certificates, and other documents (LPCOs) in PG 13 and PG 14 record lines of the APHIS Core Message Sets. LPCOs can include licenses, permits, sanitary certificates, phytosanitary certificates, certificates of origin, health certificates, and required manufacturer statements. And as a reminder, LPCOs in PG13 and PG14 record lines are repeatable when multiple documents apply to a PGA message set line. Stakeholders submitting appropriate LPCO data through the APHIS Core Message Set assist inspectors' efforts, support the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) system validation, and provide efficient cargo clearance. For more information, go to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection web page, where you will find example of LPCO filings in the APHIS Core Message Set Implementation Guide (pages 119- 125) and the LPCO correction table list in the APHIS Supplemental Trade Guide (pages 25 - 27).

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.
