CBP Not Accepting USMCA Drawback Claims Until Further Notice

Drawback filers should not file any USMCA drawback claims at this time, CBP said in a CSMS message. Some technical changes to ACE need to be made before CBP can accept USMCA claims, and the agency will send out another CSMS message when they have been deployed. “Please continue to file NAFTA drawback claims, if applicable, under the NAFTA requirements,” CBP said. Filers will not be allowed to commingle NAFTA and USMCA imports on the same drawback claim. “The date of entry determines which agreement controls, not the date of claim,” it said.
