CSMS # 65201305 - CBP Announcement of the Trade Information Notice (TIN)
This message is to announce the launch of the Trade Information Notice (TIN). The TIN will serve as a method for relaying local news and updates on a national scale to our trade partners through a subscription-based communications network. News and updates related to the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) will continue to be sent through the Cargo Systems Messaging Service (CSMS).
Utilizing a national based process will align communications with the modern trade operating model and ensure all parties with equities at the ports and Centers of Excellence and Expertise (Centers) have access to current information.
The TIN will replace existing local messaging processes used by the Office of Field Operations (OFO). OFO Field Offices will be responsible for developing and administering messages through the TIN for distribution to the Trade community. The TIN will enable subscribers to customize the information they receive based on Field Office(s), Port(s) of Entry, and/or Center(s) of Excellence and Expertise (Centers).
Effective May 30, 2025, OFO’s current local pipeline/information notice messages process will cease to be used. To continue receiving local information regarding Port and/or Center of Excellence and Expertise (Centers) activity please subscribe to the new Trade Information Notice (TIN).
The TIN subscription link and location on CBP.gov are listed below:
TIN Subscription link – Here CBP.gov link – Here
The TIN will provide the following:
- A subscription-based service for CBP and Trade users to receive local messages.
- Enhanced communications between Ports, Centers, and the trade.
- Communicate local weather alerts and key events.
Questions relating to the TIN may be directed to the Trade Operations Division inbox at OFO-TRADEOPERATIONS@cbp.dhs.gov.
