CBP Advises Port Discretion Over Penalties Related to Ongoing Cyberattack on CMA CGM

An ongoing cyberattack on shipper CGA CGM is causing problems for filing export manifests, CBP said in a CSMS message Oct. 9. “CBP locations should be aware that CGA CGM has limited capability to supply export manifests filings and is expected to be able to file export manifests by early next week,” the agency said. “Ports should exercise discretion on penalization of CGA CGM to provide the export manifest timely. Export notification will still be required and individual export filers will still need to file timely in [the Automated Export System]. Ports should attempt to work with CGA CGM to receive any export documentation for these filings thru alternate means, if possible.” Those instructions were effective as of 10 p.m. EDT Sept. 27, it said.
