Processing Payments for Entry Summary Cancellations

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 58168088 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on October 25, 2023. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Processing Payments for Entry Summary Cancellations". 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 # 58168088 - Processing Payments for Entry Summary Cancellations U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent this bulletin at 10/25/2023 11:20 AM EDT Cargo Systems Messaging Service CSMS # 58168088 - Processing Payments for Entry Summary Cancellations The purpose of this message is to provide interim guidance to the Port, Center of Excellence and Expertise (Center), and San Juan Field Office (SJFO) personnel on an update to entry summary cancellation policy. Effective immediately, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will grant the option to have the original entry summary cancelled and taken off a daily or periodic statement while it is in CBP control as long as there is a valid bond, and the replacement entry summary is scheduled for payment. See 19 CFR 113.11 and 19 CFR 113.13. This action will be beneficial to the Trade, as CBP will no longer demand payment to be tendered on both the original and the replacement entry when a cancellation request is submitted with a cover letter and supporting documentation while the original entry summary lingers within the 10 business days of filing summary on a daily payment or 15 business days in the next month for periodic payment. If the duty is paid on the original entry summary and goes into CBP control, the broker should request an administrative refund by filing a cancellation request cover letter and supporting documentation. If the request is found to be valid, the administrative refund will be processed first, followed by the cancellation of the entry summary.

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.
