Increase in Bond Status Messages due to Real

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 44130603 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on September 18, 2020. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Increase in Bond Status Messages due to Real". 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 # 44130603 - Increase in Bond Status Messages due to Real-Time ASI Deployment U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent this bulletin at 09/18/2020 02:44 PM EDT Cargo Systems Messaging Service CSMS #44130603 - Increase in Bond Status Messages due to Real-Time ASI Deployment Please be advised that CBP commenced a pilot with sureties for Real-Time ASI on Saturday, September 12, 2020. The goal of this system enhancement is to expand the real-time data provided to the sureties and surety agents via the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) Bond Status (BS) message. In particular, information currently provided via the ASI AS and AQ messages (nightly and quarterly downloads) will now also be provided in real-time via BS messages which may result in an increase in the number of messages filers will receive. Following the deployment of the additional BS messaging, AS and AQ messages will remain available as part of the Real-Time ASI Pilot Phase. During this phase, CBP will work closely with ASI users to ensure the usefulness of the new BS messaging and to assess the need for future availability of nightly/quarterly downloads. The pilot phase is scheduled to conclude on or around October 22, 2020, however, CBP took the additional step of discontinuing the generation of messages for parties listed as Secondary Notify Parties (SNPs) on a bond for certain cargo release and post release events as these would be duplicate messages already received upon transmission of entry and/or entry summary. SNPs will continue to receive duplicate test messages for various bond events, such as when a bond is added, if sureties or surety filers designate for SNPs to receive those messages. Please note that the volume of new Bond Status messages is significant especially with events triggered by the weekly liquidation batch job and when CBP receives payment on statement (disposition codes LLQ and CPD, respectively).

CSMS 44130603 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin titled "Increase in Bond Status Messages due to Real". 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 44130603 on September 18, 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.
