In a Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) bulletin published on January 27, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) posted a reminder to the trade on the upcoming interim final rule on electric refunds and provided updated resources for the transition.

CBP has provided informational notices, training guides, support calls, reference sheet, and a new ACE Portal and ACH Refunds Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document.

All CBP issued refunds will be processed electronically via automated clearing house (ACH) starting on February 6, 2026.

CSMS # 67513690 and links to the ACH refund resources can be found here:
