AMENDED CASH DEPOSIT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERTAIN CIRCULAR WELDED CARBON STEEL PIPES & TUBES FROM THAILAND FOR SAHA THAI STEEL PIPE COMPANY (A-549-502)

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 6120111 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (trade policy), published on April 29, 1996. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "AMENDED CASH DEPOSIT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERTAIN CIRCULAR WELDED CARBON STEEL PIPES & TUBES FROM THAILAND FOR SAHA THAI STEEL PIPE COMPANY (A-549-502)". It links to 1 AD/CVD case in Tandom's catalog.

Frequently asked questions

What is CSMS 6120111?

CSMS 6120111 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin titled "AMENDED CASH DEPOSIT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERTAIN CIRCULAR WELDED CARBON STEEL PIPES & TUBES FROM THAILAND FOR SAHA THAI STEEL PIPE COMPANY (A-549-502)". 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 6120111 published?

CBP published CSMS 6120111 on April 29, 1996. The bulletin's instructions are typically operative as of the publication date unless the body specifies a different effective date.

Which AD/CVD cases does CSMS 6120111 affect?

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.
