The CBP ACE technical team is investigating an issue with ACE Cargo Release transactions (SE) that include EPA Vehicles and Engines program data or disclaims.



The reject being sent is P00 PGA DATA MISSING PER PGA FLAG



As a work-around, the filer is able to submit the ACE Entry Summary with ACE Cargo Release on the AE transaction with the required EPA data. The only transaction incorrectly rejecting with the EPA Vehicles and Engines data is the stand-alone ACE Cargo Release (SE).



Please note that the enforcement of EPA tariff flagging began today, May 18, 2017. If you are not sending any EPA data or disclaim on an entry or entry summary for ACE Cargo release that has an EPA tariff flag, the P00 reject would be correctly sent.



The only scenario we have identified that is in issue is specifically the SE transaction with EPA Vehicle and Engine data or disclaim being sent.



Another CSMS will be posted when this situation is resolved.
