CBP Introduces New Secondary Protest Issue Type

Posted by Sila Barr on 2/18/25 5:00 PM

On February 18, 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) issued a bulletin via the Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) announcing the introduction of a new secondary issue for Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) exception reviews.

This new secondary issue has been integrated into the Protest Module within the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE). According to the CSMS, this addition enables individuals filing a protest against a "Notice of Exclusion for CAATSA" to "contest a CBP exclusion decision via the ACE Protest Module."

The bulletin also provides a detailed overview of the process for requesting this type of exception review.

The ACE Protest Module was updated on January 21, 2025.
