Updated ACE Agency Tariff Code AQX is now available for the USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, CBP said in a CSMS message Sept. 8. The flag is available in the certification environment. Starting Sept. 11, the AQX code will begin to be assigned to HTS codes in the production environment, the message said. The flag for this entry will be given a "warning" severity, meaning that you can still file a new entry even if there is no disclaim code related to the flag.
