It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "FDA to Validate FSV Email Syntax on 9/4/21".

CSMS #48912861 - FDA to Validate FSV Email Syntax on 9/4/21 U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent this bulletin at 07/28/2021 09:45 AM EDT Cargo Systems Messaging Service CSMS #48912861 - FDA to Validate FSV Email Syntax on 9/4/21 On September 4, 2021 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will deploy validation to check the syntax of the email transmitted in PG21 for the FSV entity. This enhancement is the result of a high volume of entry lines received with an invalid syntax. The Foreign Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP) regulation requires the FSVP Importer email to be transmitted. Filers should verify the FSV email address transmitted on each entry line is valid immediately and not wait for this enhancement in order to avoid rejects when deployed. Only transmit one valid email address as you would in an email program. Do not include names, additional characters, etc. that are not part of the valid email address. Valid Example first.last@company.com Invalid Example < first.last@company.com > Invalid Example FirstName LastName first.last@company.com Invalid Example FirstName LastName < first.last@company.com > Invalid Example first.last@company.com , first.last@company.com This information and examples will be added to the next version of the FDA ACE Supplemental Guide.

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.
