CBP CSMS Messages and Web Postings
CBP has posted a notice providing information on Census Warning capabilities that will be deployed with ESAR A2.2 (Initial Entry Summary Types). ACE will communicate directly with the Census Bureau to override Census warnings generated by ACE. The electronic interface of ACE will enable a filer to submit an override code preemptively for known Census variances or to certify information after filing an entry summary. This functionality will only be available if the entry summary was filed in ACE.

2. Updated TRQ/TPL "Threshold to Fill" List
CBP has posted an updated version of its tariff rate quota/tariff preference level "threshold to fill" list, a quick reference to monitor TRQs and TPLs that are approaching the restraint limit or have filled the in-quota (low) rate. The list is divided into two sections - quotas that are at least 85% filled and quotas that are closed. (List, updated 03/26/09, available at http://www.cbp.gov/linkhandler/cgov/trade/trade_programs/textiles_and_quotas/commodity/trq_thresh_fill.ctt/trq_thresh_fill.pdf)
