CSMS 46794385 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on March 29, 2021. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Daily Update: K". 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.
