Information on Coming Changes to Trade User Responses to CBP Forms 28, 29 and 4647

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 50775619 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on January 20, 2022. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Information on Coming Changes to Trade User Responses to CBP Forms 28, 29 and 4647". 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.

While the majority of these changes only affect CBP users, until the new ACE forms application is completed in April 2022, trade users will also see a change in how responses to CBP Forms 28, 29 and 4647 (issued by CBP through the ACE Portal) may be submitted. Beginning on January 29, trade users will no longer be able to submit responses directly through the ACE Portal, and electronic responses will only be available through DIS (via EDI or email submission).

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.
