BACKGROUND
Effective January 1, 2018, the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act of 2017 (CBMA) (as contained in Pub. L. No. 115-97) amended the Internal Revenue Code with respect to the tax treatment of certain alcoholic beverages. The provisions of the CBMA are effective during calendar years 2018 and 2019.
When submitting documents in support of a CBMA claim to the Protest Module or the CBMA mailbox (cbma@cbp.dhs.gov) for protests or non-ABI (paper) entries, filers/importers should adhere to the same file naming conventions established for Document Image System (DIS) document submissions. The most up to date file naming conventions are outlined in Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) #19-000172 for 2019 CBMA Procedures and Requirements: Implementing CBMA, issued on April 2, 2019.
