ACE PRODUCTION Cargo Release Deployment, Tuesday

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 38868448 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (system update), published on July 16, 2019. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "ACE PRODUCTION Cargo Release Deployment, Tuesday". 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 #38868448 - ACE PRODUCTION Cargo Release Deployment, Tuesday 7/16/2019 @0500ET U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent this bulletin at 07/15/2019 11:00 AM EDT Cargo Systems Messaging Service CSMS #38868448 - ACE PRODUCTION Cargo Release Deployment, Tuesday 7/16/2019 @0500ET There will be an ACE PRODUCTION deployment of ACE Cargo Release on Tuesday morning, July 16, 2019, during the 0500 - 0700 ET window, which will impact ACE Cargo Release and ACE Entry Summary processing. To be deployed: • Bill Type T should only be accepted for AIR MOT. If received for other MOTs, then error message text will be sent "INVALID BILL TYPE FOR MODE OF TRANSPORT". • When an input SE message had more than 1 duplicate HTS number in a line item, an exception occurred that caused the SX to not get generated. This has been fixed. • An exception error was thrown if a Port of Entry code could not be found while processing an SE message. The application's Posting Service was updated to retrieve Port of Entry from previous postings, if any. Otherwise, obtain the Port of Entry from the incoming SE message. If still not found, continue processing other records in the message (instead of stopping with a fatal exception error).

Is the CBP CSMS the legally binding instruction?

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.
