Cash deposit instructions for finished carbon steel flanges from Italy (A-475-835)
Plain-English explanation
CSMS 0118409 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (trade policy), published on April 27, 2020. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Cash deposit instructions for finished carbon steel flanges from Italy (A-475-835)". It links to 1 AD/CVD case in Tandom's catalog. CSMS messages are the operational layer between Commerce determinations and at-the-border collections: when Commerce publishes a new rate, scope ruling, or instruction, CBP turns it into a CSMS that ACE/ACS systems and brokers act on.

CSMS 0118409 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin titled "Cash deposit instructions for finished carbon steel flanges from Italy (A-475-835)". CSMS bulletins are the operational instructions CBP issues to brokers, importers, and ACE filers covering rate changes, system updates, scope guidance, and other day-to-day customs-operations changes.
When was CSMS 0118409 published?
CBP published CSMS 0118409 on April 27, 2020. The bulletin's instructions are typically operative as of the publication date unless the body specifies a different effective date.
Which AD/CVD cases does CSMS 0118409 affect?
CSMS 0118409 references 1 AD/CVD case (A-475-835). The links on this page take you to each linked order with its current scope, rates, and history.
Yes — for at-the-border filing and entry collection. CSMS messages translate Commerce's Federal Register determinations into operational CBP instructions that ACE/ACS systems and brokers execute. The Federal Register notice is the underlying legal authority; the CSMS is the operational implementation. Both should be read together when reconciling a rate or scope change.
Determine if a product is in scope of an AD/CVD order
Scope text is authoritative; the HTS list is illustrative. Read scope, find past rulings, and file a 19 CFR 351.225 inquiry. Worked example on case A-570-106 (wooden cabinets from China).
