Plain-English explanation

CSMS 3031202 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (trade policy), published on January 31, 2003. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ON CARBON STEEL PRODUCTS FROM GERMANY (C-428-208)". It links to 1 AD/CVD case in Tandom's catalog.
