This message is from December 19, 2025. Later CSMS messages may have changed it. See the latest trade news
What did CBP announce?
CBP announced that an update to the ACE air manifest (CAMIR) was available for testing in the CERT environment. The update made the Declared Value and ISO Currency Code fields conditional, and required for an express bill. CBP updated the ACE AIR CAMIR Message Line Identifiers Implementation Guide and said the change would reach Production on January 6, 2026.
What is Allied's position?
This message concerned air carriers and express consignment operators that transmit air manifests to ACE, not the entries importers file. Later CSMS messages may have changed these manifest rules. Clients do not need to act, but should ask us if they have questions about their air shipments.
