It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Clarification - Increased Column 2 Duties on Certain Articles from the Russian Federation".

CSMS #52638708 - Clarification - Increased Column 2 Duties on Certain Articles from the Russian Federation U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent this bulletin at 07/19/2022 03:43 PM EDT Cargo Systems Messaging Service CSMS #52638708 - Clarification - Increased Column 2 Duties on Certain Articles from the Russian Federation Previously issued CSMS#52458835 dated July 13, 2022, stated effective on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on July 27, 2022, specific goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption from the Russian Federation are subject to an increase of Column 2 rate of duty. CBP clarifies, all commodities that are identified in the attachment (Chapters 1-97 specific), along with 9802.00.40, 9802.00.50, 9802.00.60, 9802.00.80 require a 9903.90.08 classification, along with the underlying classification(s). These entry summaries may require up to three different HTS numbers to be accepted in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). Please see the scenarios below: 1. If importer classifies as 8462.25.0010 (FLATTENING MACHINE, MACHINE TOOLS, NUMER CONTR, USED OR REBUIL) only, ACE will require 9903.90.08. The entry summary submission must include two HTS numbers for acceptance. 2. If importer also includes 9802.00.4040 (OTH ARTCLS EXPORT REPAIR/ALTERATION-MADE PURSUANT TO WARANTY) with 8462.25.0010 (FLATTENING MACHINE, MACHINE TOOLS, NUMER CONTR, USED OR REBUIL), ACE will require 9903.90.08. The entry summary submission must include all three HTS numbers for acceptance. 3. However, if importer includes 9817.84.01 (WHEEL BUILDING MACHINES, 84622100-90318000) with 8462.25.0010 (FLATTENING MACHINE, MACHINE TOOLS, NUMER CONTR, USED OR REBUIL), ACE will still require 9903.90.08. The entry summary submission must include all three HTS numbers for acceptance. Although the increased rate of duty does not apply in scenario 3, ACE will automatically require the submission of all three HTS numbers. ACE will not require an increased rate of duty, as the correct rate will apply.

Frequently asked questions

What is CSMS 52638708?

CSMS 52638708 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin titled "Clarification - Increased Column 2 Duties on Certain Articles from the Russian Federation". CSMS bulletins are the operational instructions CBP issues to brokers, importers, and ACE filers covering rate changes, system updates, scope guidance, and other day-to-day customs-operations changes.

When was CSMS 52638708 published?

CBP published CSMS 52638708 on July 19, 2022. The bulletin's instructions are typically operative as of the publication date unless the body specifies a different effective date.

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.
