UPDATE

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 56642007 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on June 15, 2023. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "UPDATE". 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 # 56642007 - UPDATE - U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to Process Port of Entry Changes Through ACE U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent this bulletin at 06/15/2023 04:50 PM EDT Cargo Systems Messaging Service CSMS # 56642007 - UPDATE - U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to Process Port of Entry Changes Through ACE As indicated by related CSMS #56355171, Port of Entry (POE) changes can now be made using the Update Action Code (U) on an ACE Cargo Release transaction as suggested by trade. Trade users will no longer need to request an entry cancellation and submit a new entry to change a Port of Entry for entries with FDA data. FDA will respond to an entry submission with a POE change with new reason codes to acknowledge the POE change and indicate previous decision/status messages remain applicable. As is the case today, changes to the FDA message set will not be considered. This enhancement for FDA is currently available in CERT. Due to continued testing, FDA expects to begin processing PoE changes via ACE, including sending the new reason codes in Production no earlier than June 24, 2023. An additional CSMS message will be sent next week to provide an update on the planned deployment date. Continued testing is appreciated and encouraged. Refer to the updated Information for FDA Entry Filings document on CBP.gov for further information on Port of Entry changes for FDA For ACE inquiries, contact FDA ACE Support, ACE_Support@fda.hhs.gov .

Frequently asked questions

What is CSMS 56642007?

CSMS 56642007 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin titled "UPDATE". 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.

CBP published CSMS 56642007 on June 15, 2023. 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.
