NO SOONER THAN 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE OF THIS MESSAGE, CBP WILL
IMPLEMENT A NEW ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE PROCESS TO COMMUNICATE TO
TRADE USERS OF ALL CBP COMMERCIAL SYSTEMS. UPON IMPLEMENTATION
OF THE NEW PROCESS, ABI WILL CEASE ISSUING GLOBAL MESSAGES VIA
THE EXISTING ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE APPLICATION (MR).
CURRENTLY THE ONLY AUTOMATED COMMERCIAL SYSTEM WITH
ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE CAPABILITY IS THE AUTOMATED BROKER
INTERFACE (ABI). CBP HAS NO BROADCAST MECHANISM FOR OTHER
COMMERCIAL SYSTEMS SUCH AS; OCEAN/RAIL MANIFEST, AIR MANIFEST,
AND ELECTRONIC TRUCK MANIFEST. THE NEW PROCESS WILL INTRODUCE
THE CAPABILITY FOR CBP TO BROADCAST MESSAGES NOT ONLY TO ABI
USERS, BUT TO USERS OF ALL CBP AUTOMATED COMMERCIAL SYSTEMS.
THIS NEW BROADCAST MESSAGING SYSTEM WILL BE CALLED CARGO SYSTEMS
MESSAGING SERVICE (CSMS) AND WILL OFFER THE TRADE COMMUNITY TWO
NEW WAYS TO GET INFORMATION FROM CBP. INFORMATION WILL BE
DISTRIBUTED TO SUBSCRIBERS TO THE CSMS LIST SERVE AND WILL BE
POSTED TO THE CBP.GOV WEBSITE.
ANY MEMBER OF THE TRADE WISHING TO GET MESSAGES VIA THIS SYSTEM
WILL BE REQUIRED TO SUBSCRIBE. THE LINK FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION
PAGE WILL BE PROVIDED AT A LATER DATE. THE SUBSCRIBER WILL BE
PROMPTED FOR THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS, PASSWORD (OPTIONAL), AND TO
INDICATE THE SUBJECT AREAS IN WHICH THEY ARE INTERESTED. A
SUBSCRIBER MAY ELECT TO SUBSCRIBE TO AS MANY OF THE SUBJECT
AREAS AS THEY CHOOSE. MESSAGES FOR THE DESIRED SUBJECTS WILL BE
SENT TO THE PROVIDED EMAIL ADDRESS. ACCESS TO THE SUBSCRIBER
PROFILE WILL PERMIT CHANGES INCLUDING EMAIL ADDRESS,
MODIFICATION OF DESIRED SUBJECT AREAS, FREQUENCY OF RECEIPT OF
THE NEW MESSAGES, OR DISCONTINUATION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION.
THE FOLLOWING SUBJECT AREAS (OR MESSAGE GROUPS) HAVE BEEN
IDENTIFIED:
- AUTOMATED BROKER INTERFACE (ABI)
- ACE OUTREACH EVENTS
- ACE PORTAL ACCOUNTS
- ACE REPORTS
- AIR MANIFEST
- CUENTAS EN EL PORTAL DE ACE (ACE PORTAL ACCOUNT SPANISH)
- OCEAN MANIFEST
- PERIODIC MONTHLY STATEMENT
- RAIL MANIFEST
- TRANSPORTISTAS DE CAMION (TRUCK MANIFEST - SPANISH)
- TRUCK MANIFEST
WHEN A MESSAGE IS ROUTED, CSMS ASSIGNS A MESSAGE NUMBER. THE
MESSAGE IS SENT TO THE EMAIL ADDRESSES OF ALL SUBSCRIBERS FOR
THE DESIGNATED SUBJECT AREA. THE EMAIL INCLUDES THE MESSAGE
NUMBER AND THE TITLE IN THE SUBJECT LINE. AT THAT TIME, THE
MESSAGE IS ALSO POSTED TO A PERMANENT LIST ON CBP.GOV IDENTIFIED
BY THE DATE AND TIME OF ISSUANCE, MESSAGE NUMBER, TITLE, AND
DESIGNATED SUBJECT AREA(S).
THE CBP.GOV LIST OF MESSAGES PROVIDES THE TRADE USER WITH
EXTENSIVE SEARCH AND SORT CAPABILITIES AGAINST DATE/TIME,
MESSAGE NUMBER, TITLE, AND SUBJECT AREAS. BOTH THE TEXT AND
BODY OF THE MESSAGE MAY BE SEARCHED FOR ANY DESIRED TEXT STRING,
INCLUDING USE OF WILDCARDS.
MESSAGES ISSUED UNDER THE CURRENT ABI ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE
SYSTEM WILL BE CONVERTED TO THE CBP.GOV LIST. THEY WILL
CONTINUE TO BE AVAILABLE VIA ABI ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE QUERY
APPLICATION MI.
MORE DETAILS WILL BE PROVIDED IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
