Information on the Deployment of Real

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 44788494 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on November 10, 2020. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Information on the Deployment of 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 #44788494 - Information on the Deployment of Real-time ASI in Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent this bulletin at 11/10/2020 03:58 PM EST Cargo Systems Messaging Service CSMS #44788494 - Information on the Deployment of Real-time ASI in Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) On December 5, 2020, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will complete the implementation of changes and its pilot with sureties for the Real-time Automated Surety Interface (ASI) enhancement to the eBond User Interface (UI) in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). This enhancement expands the data provided to sureties and surety agents in real-time via the Bond Status (BS) message, with the goal of eventually replacing the current nightly and quarterly downloads that provide users with ACE Cargo Release and post-release processing information. Please be advised that the Real-time ASI enhancement may result in an increase in the number of messages filers receive. 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. 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). If you have any questions regarding this new functionality or the volume of messages being received, please contact your CBP Client Representative.

Frequently asked questions

What is CSMS 44788494?

CSMS 44788494 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin titled "Information on the Deployment of 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.

When was CSMS 44788494 published?

CBP published CSMS 44788494 on November 10, 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.
