Workaround for AD/CVD Query is Not Returning the Companion Case

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 51982044 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on May 24, 2022. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Workaround for AD/CVD Query is Not Returning the Companion Case". 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.

CSMS #51982044 - Workaround for AD/CVD Query is Not Returning the Companion Case U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent this bulletin at 05/24/2022 10:10 AM EDT Cargo Systems Messaging Service CSMS #51982044 - Workaround for AD/CVD Query is Not Returning the Companion Case CBP is aware that the AD/CVD Query is not returning the companion case. Below is a workaround until the issue is resolved. Trade users can submit the AD query using the 7-digit case number instead of the 10-digit case number. AC will return the companion case information on the RA line. When 10-digit case number is submitted currently, there are situations where no companion case number associated at the 10-digit case number level. This results in no companion case being returned on the RA line of the AC message. Once fix is implemented, trade users can submit AD query using the 10-digit case number and if there is no companion case, the query will return the companion case data from the 7-digit parent case number. An update will be posted once resolved.

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.
