Plain-English explanation

CSMS 38840005 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (system update), published on July 10, 2019. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "ACE CERTIFICATION Quota deployment, Thurs July 11, 2019 @0600ET". 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.

Entry summary filings will still be accepted with a quantity of zero, but this new UC reject will be sent out to inform the trade as to why the quota is unable to process. A new Q15 error code with a description of ‘QTA QUANTITY MUST BE > 0’ will be sent out in this situation. • Resolved an issue where UC Message for Agriculture Licenses were not implying 2 decimal places like regular CBP quota UC Messages were. • Resolved an issue where UC Message would send out QUOTA FILLED, but SO would send out QUOTA RESERVED message; now UC Message will send out QUOTA FILLED and SO will send out QUOTA REJECTED to be consistent.
