CSMS #46964583 - AES Commodity Response Messages 227 and 007 Restored to Fatal U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent this bulletin at 04/13/2021 09:32 AM EDT Cargo Systems Messaging Service CSMS #46964583 - AES Commodity Response Messages 227 and 007 Restored to Fatal Response Code: 227 ‘FORWARDING AGENT PARTY MISSING’ and Response Code: 007 ‘HEADER FILER ID TYPE MUST BE E or D’ are currently set to ‘INFORMATIONAL.’ Severity has been restored to ‘FATAL’ on April 13, 2021. Response Code: 227 ‘FORWARDING AGENT PARTY MISSING’ A forwarding agent party must be reported in the Automated Export System (AES) Electronic Export Information (EEI) when the filer Id Type (E=EIN, D=DUNS in Proprietary format, 24=EIN, 01=DUNS in X12 format) reported in the EEI does not match the USPPI ID Type (E=EIN, D=DUNS, T=Foreign Entity in Proprietary format, 24=EIN, 01=DUNS in X12 format). If the Filer ID Type does not match the USPPI ID Type, AES will treat these as different parties and generate Response Code: 227 ‘FORWARDING AGENT PARTY MISSING.’ Response Code: 007 'HEADER FILER ID TYPE MUST BE E or D' ACE Electronic Export Information (AES) is now correctly validating for AESTIR commodity filing error message ‘007 HEADER FILER ID TYPE MUST BE E OR D’ in the X12 messages. Software vendors should update their software to send the correct value of the Filer ID type: X.12 Segment ID/Data Elements: ISA05: 01 (D), 24 (E). For additional formatting details please refer to the ANSI X-12: 601 Export Shipment Information or CBP Proprietary Format . You may test your Electronic Export Information (EEI) in the certification environment. NOTE: AESTIR Commodity Filing Response Message 007 and 227 are not new AES Response Codes. This is simply validating information that is within the EEI submission. EEI messages transmitted in CBP Proprietary Format (Proprietary Record ID/Data Elements: Input A Record/ Filer ID Type) were and continue to be validated against the business rule ‘007 HEADER FILER ID TYPE MUST BE E OR D’.

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.
