Partner Government Agencies

This PGA Message set is designed to convey the Partner Government Agency (PGA) data needed to satisfy PGA reporting requirements. This data set will be used as the single record layout for all input from the trade for PGA data and will replace the Other Government Agency (OGA) data sets such as the FD, DT, and FC records. This set does not stand alone and can only be submitted as part of another transmission such as an ACE Entry Summary Certified for Release or a Simplified Entry. At a minimum, if there is a PGA filing requirement for an HTS entry line, there would be one instance of the PGA Message set records submitted.

There are several instances which require a new PGA line (and associated PGA records) to be transmitted. For example, when there is a commodity change (commercial description change), a new Record Identifier OI and PGA line number should be transmitted. In addition, there are three data elements that require a new PGA line number to be transmitted. These elements are agency, globally unique product identification code, and intended use. Changes to any of these elements will cause the resubmission of the records PG01 to PG35, while the OI might remain the same. For example, if a commodity is covered by more than one PGA and the data required for each agency is different, a filer is expected to submit a new set of records for each additional agency. A fourth data element, Product Code, may cause a PGA line change. See the header in PG02 for details.

In terms of an AE (Entry Summary), there will be a 50 record followed by the PGA Record set. For the SE (Simplified Entry) there will be a 60 record followed by the PGA Record set.

In general, the following guidance is provided for reporting data using this PGA Message Set. Many data elements are marked as conditional since not all PGAs require all data elements or records. PGA-specific guidance will determine which data elements are mandatory to fulfill specific PGA reporting requirements. Please refer to PGA-specific guidance for data reporting requirements, such as for the Lacey Act. Please also refer to CBP’s “PGA Message Set Relationship Guidelines” document, for more information on how records relate to each other.

Processing

General Rules for Data Submission

Unused fields, which are defined as numeric, should not be zero-filled. These fields should be space filled or data errors may result.

Data should not be placed in fields defined as filler. If data is present in filler fields, an error message may be system generated.

Transmit ONLY uppercase alphabetic characters A through Z. While some applications may not return specific error messages when detecting lower‑case letters, CBP cannot guarantee the consistency of processing results for data transmitted in lower case.

Data Elements

The data element length/class descriptors are defined as:

Code Description

A The data element is alphabetic only (uppercase ONLY).

AN The data element is alphanumeric only (uppercase ONLY, for characters A through Z).

N The data element is numeric only.

X The data element is alphanumeric or special characters (uppercase ONLY for characters A through Z).

All data elements are in fixed-length format. If all positions are not filled, the formatting rules are:

Code Description

A Left justify and Space fill.

AN Left justify and Space fill.

N Right justify and zero-fill.

X Left justify and Space fill.

Note: If there is no data to insert in a field, Space fill.

Status codes are important to ensure that appropriate data is transmitted. Codes must be used where indicated or errors will occur.

Code Description

M Mandatory data element ‑ must always be present.

O Optional data element ‑ generate data if available.

C Conditional data element ‑ data is provided if the conditions warrant.

Partner Government Agency Correction Capability

Correction capabilities are to be determined.
