December 24, 2024, CBP Holiday for Payments

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 63476223 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on December 20, 2024. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "December 24, 2024, CBP Holiday for Payments". 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.

Therefore, that date will now be considered a CBP Holiday exactly like December 25th. Any entries previously transmitted with a payment due date of 12/24/24 will appear on a statement on 12/26/24. That means two separate statements may be generated on 12/26/24. Filers who wish to change the payment print date from December 24 to December 26 for previously transmitted summaries may do so at their discretion. Entry Summaries transmitted to ABI on December 10, 2024, will reject if a payment due date of 12/24/24 is used. Those entries should be transmitted with a payment due date of 12/26/24.
