Harmonized System Updates (HSU) 2407 and 2408

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 61163504 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on June 27, 2024. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Harmonized System Updates (HSU) 2407 and 2408". 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.

Frequently asked questions

What is CSMS 61163504?

CSMS 61163504 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin titled "Harmonized System Updates (HSU) 2407 and 2408". 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 61163504 on June 27, 2024. 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.
