CBP CSMS Messages and Web Postings
CBP has issued a CSMS message informing all parties of interest that the country code and country name of East Timor (TP) has been changed to Timor-Leste (TL). CBP asks the trade to note the change, as ABI will no longer accept East Timor (TP) in any ABI transmission effective October 30, 2008. Changes have already been made to Appendix B of the CATAIR.
