CBP added new ACE error code requiring USDA license for sugar and dairy HTS entries
CBP announced an update to the ACE CATAIR Error Dictionary that created a new fatal error, F60D, for agriculture related HTS numbers. The error required a USDA agricultural license type 14 number in the 52 record for entries using listed re export sugar program and dairy rate quota HTS numbers, regardless of entry type. CBP said any entry using these HTS numbers without the license number would be rejected. The change was scheduled to deploy to the CERT and PROD environments on May 30, 2026.

This validation still applies to entries we file that use the listed sugar or dairy HTS numbers. We enter the USDA agricultural license type 14 number in the 52 record on those entries to avoid rejection. Clients importing goods classified under these HTS numbers should confirm they hold a valid license and send us the license number before we file the entry.
CBP renamed ACE error code 613 from HTS relationship/sequence mismatch to HTS relationship mismatch
CBP announced an update to the ACE CATAIR Error Dictionary (V47) that changed the name of error code 613 from HTS RELATIONSHIP/SEQUENCE MISMATCH to HTS RELATIONSHIP MISMATCH. CBP removed the sequence reference because incorrect HTS number sequencing now triggers a separate existing error, 852 HTS OUT OF SEQUENCE. The update deployed to the CERT and PROD environments on May 28, 2026.

This is a technical labeling change to how ABI systems report certain HTS errors, and it concerns filers like Allied rather than importers directly. We account for the updated error names and the separate 852 sequence error in the entries we file. Clients do not need to take any action on this change.
CBP added new ABI error code for HTS not allowed for importer of record
CBP announced an update to the ACE CATAIR Error Dictionary adding error code F865, which flags a tariff number as not eligible for the submitted importer of record. CBP scheduled the update for the CERT test environment on May 19, 2026, and for production on June 2, 2026. The message directed technical questions to CBP client representatives and the Entry Summary Accounts and Revenue Division.

This is a technical filing system update that concerns brokers and how CBP's ABI system validates entry data. The error code is now live in production, so we may see it returned if a filed tariff number is not eligible for the importer of record on an entry. Clients do not need to act, but if we receive this error on a filing we may ask for corrected classification or importer information.
