CBP to require expanded ZoneID for FTZ Admission Adds

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 50858555 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on January 28, 2022. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "CBP to require expanded ZoneID for FTZ Admission Adds". 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.
