Plain-English explanation

CSMS 7263302 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (trade policy), published on September 20, 2017. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Prelim inj on aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China for Tai-Ao Aluminum (Taishan) Co., Ltd. and TAAL America Ltd. entered on or after 03/21/2016 (C-570-968), ct. number 17-00216".

When was CSMS 7263302 published?

CBP published CSMS 7263302 on September 20, 2017. The bulletin's instructions are typically operative as of the publication date unless the body specifies a different effective date.

Which AD/CVD cases does CSMS 7263302 affect?

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.
