Entry Type 86 Estimated Date of Arrival Requirement Deploys July 25, 2024

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 61421135 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on July 17, 2024. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Entry Type 86 Estimated Date of Arrival Requirement Deploys July 25, 2024". 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 # 61421135 - Entry Type 86 Estimated Date of Arrival Requirement Deploys July 25, 2024 U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent this bulletin at 07/17/2024 02:35 PM EDT Cargo Systems Messaging Service CSMS # 61421135 - Entry Type 86 Estimated Date of Arrival Requirement Deploys July 25, 2024 On July 25, 2024, U.S. Customs Border Protection (CBP) will begin requiring the estimated date of arrival for all entry type 86 (ET 86) submissions in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). To enforce the estimated date of arrival requirement, ACE will deploy an update to Cargo Release ET86 processing. For software developers, ET86 submissions must include the Reference Identifier Qualifier code “EDA” in the SE20 record. The value of the Reference Identifier must be the estimated date of arrival, reported as MMDDYY. Failure to provide this information will result in the entry rejecting with error 282 (EDA REQUIRED FOR ENTRY TYPE 86) or 288 (ONLY ONE SE20 FOR EDA ALLOWED). This change will support automated enforcement of the Section 321 requirements, and it was made available in the ACE certification environment on July 11, 2024. A later development will activate a validation in ACE to ensure that an appropriate party does not receive Section 321 clearance for more than an aggregate of $ 800 in shipments on a given day.

Frequently asked questions

What is CSMS 61421135?

CSMS 61421135 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin titled "Entry Type 86 Estimated Date of Arrival Requirement Deploys July 25, 2024". 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 61421135 published?

CBP published CSMS 61421135 on July 17, 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.
