On date January 26, 2017, a new SO72 message feature will be deployed in PROD to notify filers of an APHIS permit match. When a permit number is reported within the LPCO Number data element of the PG14 record as part of the APHIS Core message set, it will be validated against original permits issued by APHIS. It is important to note that CBP already implemented functionality which allows ACE to match the permits with or without the dash as part of the permit number. Upon match, a special indicator will be provided to CBP Agriculture and APHIS users to inform them that the original APHIS permit is viewable in DIS. Additionally, if a permit match does occur, an SO72 message will be sent to the filer to let them know that the permit was found in DIS. If a permit match does not occur, an SO72 message will also be sent reminding the filer to re-submit a correct permit number or to supply a copy of the permit via DIS.
