In a Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS) bulletin published on October 22, 2024, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced a recommendation to the trade to add a “Technical Point of Contact (POC) designated for cybersecurity” to their respective Automated Commercial Environment (ACE)accounts.

CBP urges all trade members to have a cybersecurity POC to improve collaboration to intercept or mitigate the impacts of an identified threat and improving the legitimacy of a threat notification from a CBP official.

The published CSMS also includes instructions for the trade on how to add this POC to their ACE account.
