REMINDER: FDA Outages Up To 3 Hours Sunday Morning August 25, 2024

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 61848535 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on August 19, 2024. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "REMINDER: FDA Outages Up To 3 Hours Sunday Morning August 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 # 61848535 - REMINDER: FDA Outages Up To 3 Hours Sunday Morning August 25, 2024 U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent this bulletin at 08/23/2024 09:00 AM EDT   Cargo Systems Messaging Service CSMS # 61848535 - REMINDER: FDA Outages Up To 3 Hours Sunday Morning August 25, 2024 Due to a planned key database migration to the cloud and scheduled maintenance, a few FDA Import Applications will be down for maintenance. The interface between FDA and CBP will be unavailable for up to 90-minutes on August 25, 2024, between 2:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. ET. When the cloud migration is complete, Prior Notice System Interface (PNSI) applicatio n will be down for up to 1 additional hour for scheduled maintenance. The exact time of the outages cannot be known due to variability in the speed of the data migration process.  The outage windows will begin when the migration of data is complete. During the initial potential 90-minute outage : FDA will not process any ACE inbound entries or outbound messages. Status messages generated during this window will be queued and sent to CBP when the interface is restored. Do not resubmit entries as this will increase the processing time to catch up when the interface is restored. Prior Notice impact during this time: Prior Notices can be submitted via both the Prior Notice System Interface (PNSI) as well as the Automated Broker Interface (ABI) / Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), but will not be processed by FDA. There may be a delay in review of Prior Notices. This delay may lead to Prior Notices being reviewed beyond expected timeframes (Truck/Land: 2 hours, Rail/Air: 4 hours, Sea: 8 hours). Please file your Prior Notices early to mitigate the impact of the delay . For additional details, see Prior Notice Contingency Scenario 1 During the additional up to 1 hour outage : PNSI will be down. There may be a delay in review of Prior Notices. This delay may lead to Prior Notices being reviewed beyond expected timeframes (Truck/Land: 2 hours, Rail/Air: 4 hours, Sea: 8 hours). Please file your Prior Notices early to mitigate the impact of the delay . FDA will be processing ACE inbound entries and outbound messages.     Update your subscriptions, modify your password or e-mail address, or stop subscriptions at any time on your Subscriber Preferences Page .

Frequently asked questions

What is CSMS 61848535?

CSMS 61848535 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin titled "REMINDER: FDA Outages Up To 3 Hours Sunday Morning August 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 61848535 published?

CBP published CSMS 61848535 on August 19, 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.
