Plain-English explanation
CSMS 5111401 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (trade policy), published on April 21, 2025. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Cash deposit instructions for raw honey from Argentina (A-357-823)". It links to 1 AD/CVD case in Tandom's catalog.

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.
