Plain-English explanation

CSMS 40678138 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (trade policy), published on November 18, 2019. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "UPDATE: Issue Searching Antidumping/Countervailing Duty (AD/CVD) Messages to Public Message Website". 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 #40678138 - UPDATE: Issue Searching Antidumping/Countervailing Duty (AD/CVD) Messages to Public Message Website U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent this bulletin at 11/18/2019 08:46 AM EST Cargo Systems Messaging Service CSMS # 40678138 - UPDATE: Issue Searching Antidumping/Countervailing Duty (AD/CVD) Messages to Public Message Website The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) technical team successfully posted all missed public AD/CVD messages that did not post during the timeframe that CBP encountered a technical issue. Additionally, CBP is working to ensure that all posted messages are searchable within the public message website. A technical issue with special characters in the posted messages prevents the messages from being available in AD/CVD Web search. As of 11/14/19, the CBP technical team removed special characters from approximately 280 messages that were generated between 9/21/19 and 11/13/19. CBP will monitor this issue and plans to remove special characters on a weekly basis to ensure that posted messages appear in the search. Additionally, CBP is working on a long-term solution to eliminate the special character issue altogether. CBP will issue a follow-up CSMS message when a deployment date for the fix is identified. As a reminder, the official copy of public AD/CVD messages are always available in ACE. Parties may also obtain copies of public AD/CVD messages through the Enforcement and Compliance (Department of Commerce) Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS) by registering for a user account or logging in as a guest user through one of the following links: https://access.trade.gov/login.aspx or https://access.trade.gov/agreement.aspx?id=guest Update your subscriptions, modify your password or e-mail address, or stop subscriptions at any time on your Subscriber Preferences Page .

CSMS 40678138 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin titled "UPDATE: Issue Searching Antidumping/Countervailing Duty (AD/CVD) Messages to Public Message Website". 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.

CBP published CSMS 40678138 on November 18, 2019. The bulletin's instructions are typically operative as of the publication date unless the body specifies a different effective date.

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.
