Automated Enforcement of Late Filing of Entry Type 86 Transactions

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 59889329 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on March 21, 2024. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Automated Enforcement of Late Filing of Entry Type 86 Transactions". 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 # 59889329 - Automated Enforcement of Late Filing of Entry Type 86 Transactions U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent this bulletin at 03/21/2024 12:13 PM EDT Cargo Systems Messaging Service CSMS # 59889329 - Automated Enforcement of Late Filing of Entry Type 86 Transactions On April 13, 2024 , CBP will deploy an update to the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) that enforces the requirement to file Entry Type 86 transactions prior to or upon the arrival of the cargo. If an Entry Type 86 is filed after the cargo has arrived, the entry will be rejected , and the cargo will be held until a different and appropriate entry is made (such as release from manifest or an Entry Type 01 or 11). Goods subject to a Partner Government Agency (PGA) requirement are ineligible for release from manifest entry procedures. On January 16, 2024, CBP published an update to the ACE Entry Type 86 test in the Federal Register (89 Fed. Reg. 2630). The updated Federal Register Notice (FRN) supersedes previous notices and modified the deadline to file an Entry Type 86, among other changes. Specifically, the FRN modified the deadline from ‘‘within 15 days’’ of the arrival of the cargo to ‘‘upon or prior to arrival’’ (see Section IV of the FRN). The traditional entry timeframe, allowing filing up to 15 days after arrival of the cargo, had proven to be inconsistent with the expedited process envisioned for the ACE Entry Type 86 Test. The Entry Type 86 FRN can be accessed at: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/01/16/2024-00698/test-concerning-entry-of-section-321-low-value-shipments-through-the-automated-commercial .
