Plain-English explanation

CSMS 69382435 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (system update), published on July 29, 2026. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Update: Information from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Related to CPSC’s PGA Message Set (eFiling)". 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.

Cargo Systems Messaging Service CSMS # 69382435 - Update: Information from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Related to CPSC’s PGA Message Set (eFiling) Update to CSMS #69177694 The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) fully implemented its eFiling Partner Government Agency (PGA) message set requirements on July 8, 2026. While the eFiling of CPSC certificate of compliance data is mandatory, CPSC has, per its final rule and guidance , determined that US Customs and Border Protections (CBP) Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) can accept entries that do not have a CPSC message set or entries where the CPSC message set is missing some CPSC data (as long as the overall CBP and Trade Automated Interface Requirements (CATAIR) PGA message set spec is followed). Therefore, software developers should allow their users to submit CPSC data even if the CPSC flagging requirements are not met. Although CBP will not reject the entry in the above scenarios (i.e., generate an SX message with a reject), CPSC may respond to trade in an SO message, with a review about the CPSC data submitted on the entry, including rejecting the CPSC data. REMINDER: CPSC may perform enforcement actions on any entry that does not have eFiling data attached when required.

CSMS 69382435 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin titled "Update: Information from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) Related to CPSC’s PGA Message Set (eFiling)". 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 69382435 published?

CBP published CSMS 69382435 on July 29, 2026. 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.
