Following the recent TTB system maintenance conducted from April 29, 2026 through May 4, 2026, the myTTB CBMA Importer Claims Portal has been repaired and Q1 2026 CBMA claims are now available for filing. The previous portal notice recommending that importers delay filing Q1 2026 claims due to ACE data transmission issues has been removed and replaced with a notice stating that CBMA claims are now available. If you have not already submitted your Q1 2026 CBMA claims, you may proceed with filing. Any eligible entry lines not appearing in the portal should be submitted via the manual claims process. As always, we recommend reviewing all entry data carefully prior to submission to ensure claim accuracy.
