Chile Will Soon Provide Electronic Certification (eCert) Data to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 63784394 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (operational), published on January 17, 2025. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Chile Will Soon Provide Electronic Certification (eCert) Data to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)". 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 # 63784394 - Chile Will Soon Provide Electronic Certification (eCert) Data to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent this bulletin at 01/17/2025 09:18 AM EST   Cargo Systems Messaging Service CSMS # 63784394 - Chile Will Soon Provide Electronic Certification (eCert) Data to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) The government of Chile will soon be sending electronic certification (eCert) data to the USDA, Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) for products under FSIS jurisdiction exported to the United States.  Once implemented, paper inspection certificates issued by the Central Competent Authority (CCA) in Chile will not be required by FSIS. The specific PG records needed for FSIS applications submitted electronically through ACE for both eCert and non-eCert countries are outlined in the FSIS guidance document (IG) Data Samples and Guidelines for Using the Partner Government Agency (PGA) Message Set for Electronic Completion of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) Application for Import Inspection (FSIS Form 9540-1) . In the event that the importer or U.S. Customs Broker submits the application data via FSIS form 9540-1, the data elements required are outlined in FSIS Directive 9900.4 . Please check with your software vendors to see if updates are needed to accommodate FSIS filings for eCert from Chile. FSIS will provide a specific start date once available, though this change is expected to occur by March 31, 2025.  Further questions can be submitted to Robert.Berczik@usda.gov , Bryce.Carson@usda.gov , or Megan.Potts@usda.gov .   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 63784394?

CSMS 63784394 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin titled "Chile Will Soon Provide Electronic Certification (eCert) Data to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)". 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 63784394 published?

CBP published CSMS 63784394 on January 17, 2025. 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.
