CSMS 42866592 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on May 29, 2020. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) Pilot Expansion to All Filers in FWS Authorized Ports".

CBP published CSMS 42866592 on May 29, 2020. 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.
