Unfair, unsafe, or illicit trade practice is not tolerated within U.S. supply chains. The goal of the Penalties Program is to ensure that penalties are effective in deterring noncompliance. This requires national direction and uniformity among the 326 ports of entry and 42 Fines, Penalties and Forfeitures field offices, as well as the use of appropriate compliance alternatives and a focus on violations involving Priority Trade Issues. If you’ve received a notice from CBP regarding a seizure, penalty, or liquidated damage case you can now file your petition online through the ePetition platform . The below referenced documents are intended to provide guidance and information to the trade community pertaining to petitions for relief, delegation of authority to decide petitions for relief, mitigation guidelines and customs administrative enforcement processes associated with fines, penalties, forfeitures and liquidated damages.

Please note that Section 301 duties are based on country of origin, not country of export. Are Section 301 duties eligible for drawback? As noted in CSMS Message 18-00419 , Section 301 duties are eligible for duty drawback. How are goods subject to the Section 301 duties treated when they are admitted into a foreign trade zone (FTZ)? Per the Federal Register notices published by the USTR, any product listed in the Section 301 Federal Register notices, except any product that is eligible for admission under ‘domestic status’ as defined in 19 CFR 146.43, which is subject to the additional duty imposed by these determinations, and that is admitted into a U.S. foreign trade zone must be admitted as ‘privileged foreign status’ as defined in 19 CFR 146.41. How does one request a product exclusion from the Section 301 duties? The USTR has issued a Federal Register Notice outlining the process by which U.S. stakeholders may request that particular products classified within an HTSUS subheading currently subject to the Section 301 remedy be excluded from the additional Section 301 duties. The procedures to request a product exclusion can be found in Section B of the USTR’s Federal Register Notice (83 FR 32181). A copy of the Federal Register Notice is available at the following link: https://ustr.gov/sites/default/files/enforcement/301Investigations/FRN%20exclusion%20process.pdf . Due to Port congestion delays, goods subject to Section 301 were not entered until after the effective date of the tariff increase. Can CBP grant relief by calling the entry timely? Under 19 C.F.R. 141.68(e), merchandise will not be authorized for release, nor will an entry or an entry summary which serves as both the entry and entry summary be considered filed or presented, until the merchandise has arrived within the port limits with the intent to unlade.

Any good subject to 301measures that include quota restrictions may not enter under Section 321 and requires a formal entry. Please note that a formal entry is also required if a shipment contains merchandise subject to AD/CVD. Goods subject to AD/CVD do not qualify for Section 321. How does an importer request a product exclusion from the Section 301 duties or submit a comment on an exclusion application? USTR is responsible for any processes to exclude imports from the Section 301 duties. For more information, see https://ustr.gov/issue-areas/enforcement/section-301-investigations/ Do my goods qualify to be entered under a certain Section 301 exclusion? Prospective importers may seek advisory guidance from Import Specialists at a Center for Excellence and Expertise on whether the goods fall under the scope of a particular exclusion. Interested parties may also seek a binding ruling from CBP.

When importing goods put up in sets for retail sale (in accordance with General Rule of Interpretation 3) that contain articles subject to the Section 301 remedy, if the product that imparts the essential character to the set (i.e., the HTSUS provision under which the entire set is classified) is covered by the Section 301 remedy, then the entire set will be subject to the additional 25% duties. If the HTSUS provision under which the entire set is classified is not covered by the Section 301 remedies, but the set contains components that are classified in a subheading covered by the 301 list, the 301 duties will not be assessed on the individual components. If the essential component of an article set (X line) is subject to a trade remedy, the applicable chapter 99 number should be reported on the X line with appropriate duty reported. If the article set V line is subject to a trade remedy, the applicable chapter 99 number should still be reported on the V-line, with duty reported as zero. When importing goods in sets in accordance with General Rule of Interpretation 1, please refer to CSMS 40564257 for guidance. Are Section 301 duties owed on entries in which a claim under Chapter 98 is made?

For headings 9802.00.40, 9802.00.50, and 9802.00.60, the additional duties apply to the value of repairs, alterations, or processing performed abroad, as described in the applicable heading. For heading 9802.00.80, the additional duties apply to the value of the article less the cost or value of such products of the United States, as described in heading 9802.00.80. The provisions related to goods entered under headings 9802.00.40, 9802.00.50, 9802.00.60, and 9802.00.80 are effective with respect to goods entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption.

With this deployment, these capabilities will no longer be filed/processed in the Automated Commercial System (ACS) and must be done via ACE. Due to disruptions to trade and negative impact on the flow of cargo presented by Hurricane Harvey and the following hurricanes, CBP has decided to reschedule the deployment of electronic Foreign Trade Zone (e214) and Manufacturer ID (MID) creation capabilities. Deployment of these capabilities will move from September 16, 2017 to our next scheduled deployment on December 9, 2017. Duty Deferral On September 16, 2017, CBP will deploy Duty Deferral capabilities in ACE at which time Duty Deferral entries will no longer be filed/processed in ACS and must be done via ACE. Data will be migrated from ACS to ACE, so even if the Duty Deferral process began in ACS, Duty Deferral information submitted on/or after September 16 must be filed in ACE. Trade users will not need to re-enter Duty Deferral information in ACE that was transmitted to ACS. The majority of Duty Deferral processing will remain the same in ACE as it has been in ACS. What will change with Duty Deferral in ACE? There are only minor changes to Duty Deferral processing in ACE. As necessary, the trade may request that CBP reject the entry summary for corrections, as the Post Summary Correction capability is not an option for entry type 08.

Rev Mod has three goals: Reduce labor-intensive manual processes around revenue collection at the POEs Increase online and electronic payment options for the collection of duties, taxes, and fees; and Capture in-scope collection data at the transaction level to enable improved reporting and business analytics Objectives Rev Mod will benefit the trade and travel communities along with CBP by addressing non-cargo related revenue collection capability gaps and revitalizing CBP’s revenue processes at ports of entry. Expanding payment options and reducing costs by: Streamlining the administrative tasks for trade and travelers with fewer manual, paper-based non-cargo related business processes, which will reduce transaction costs and inefficiencies Providing the opportunity for brokers, trade and travelers the option to submit reports and pay non-cargo related duties, taxes, and fees electronically, rather than requiring manual payments at ports or customs houses Increasing efficiencies in collections by: Transitioning the collections of non-cargo related duties, taxes, and fees out of the POEs by providing extended online payment methods to help expedite the movement of cargo and people, spurring economic activity in the U.S. Streamlining the reporting of non-cargo related payments in order for payers to easily know what, and when, payments were made, allowing quick and easy access to electronic payment history Introducing business process improvements to facilitate Trade and Travel by: Encouraging the development and usage of online and electronic payments. Improving the ability to provide payers with an accurate, consolidated view of their non-cargo related payment transactions Rev Mod has been successful in implementing efficient Electronic Payment Options (ePO), including: Providing Brokers with the opportunity to use Pay.gov to pay their Broker Exam and Triennial fees, and submit their reports online rather than paying manually at their original POE Deploying the eCBP portal, allowing Broker applicants to register for the Broker License Exam, as well as submit an electronic payment for their registration fee Last Modified: Jul 01, 2025 Related Resources eCBP Portal Automation of 368 and 1002 Receipts Working with the Trade Contact Information For questions or comments about Revenue Modernization initiatives or the Automation of 368 and 1002 Receipts, please email: revmodservicedesk@cbp.dhs.gov

Economic development is promoted by eliminating duties on thousands of products when imported from designated beneficiary countries and territories. Authorized by the Trade Act of 1974 and implemented on January 1, 1976, GSP is a preferential trade legislation that is subject to Congressional re-authorization. Eligibility Goods that are either wholly the growth, product, or manufacture of, or is a new or different article of commerce that has been grown, produced, or manufactured in, a beneficiary developing country may qualify for duty-free entry under GSP. All third-country materials must have undergone a substantial transformation with at least 35 percent of the good’s appraised value be added in the beneficiary country. The good must also be “imported directly” from the GSP eligible country. For additional eligibility criteria, see 19 CFR 10.171 to 10.178 at https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=31017316ea7c410ae832bd10ed56f584&mc=true&node=sg19.1.10_1153.sg31&rgn=div7 .

Entries claiming GSP benefits must add SPI “A” as prefix to the tariff number. The symbol “A” indicates that all GSP countries are eligible (HTSUS General Note 4(a)) The symbol “A*” indicates that certain GSP countries are ineligible (HTSUS General Note 4(d)) The symbol “A+” indicates approximately 1,500 additional tariff items for which only the least developed beneficiary developing countries are eligible (HTSUS General Note 4(b)) Competitive Need Limitations The GSP program imposes quantitative ceilings called Competitive Need Limitations (CNLs) on GSP benefits for all tariff items and beneficiary developing countries. Under certain circumstances, these ceilings may be waived. For more information, see USTR’s GSP Guidebook at https://ustr.gov/sites/default/files/gsp/GSPGuidebook_0.pdf . Expiration of GSP SPI “A,” “A+,” and “A*” On December 31, 2020, the GSP SPIs (“A,” “A+,” and “A*”) expired and is currently pending Congressional action to pass legislation for the program’s renewal. Effective January 1, 2021 at 12:00am EST, GSP eligible goods entered or withdrawn from warehouse need to pay “General” (column 1) duty rates until further notice. GSP Entry Summaries and Retroactive Refund Importers are encouraged to continue flagging GSP-eligible importations with SPI “A” and pay normal trade relations (column 1) duty rates during the lapse. Importers may not file SPI “A” without paying duties. In the event that GSP is renewed with a retroactive refund clause, CBP will be enabled to automate the duty refund process for entries flagged with the SPI “A” and no further action will be required by the filer to initiate the refund process. Post Summary Correction (PSC) GSP Claims for Importations prior to Expiration CBP will continue to allow post-importation GSP claims made via PSC and protest (19 USC 1514, 19 CFR 174) for importations made prior to GSP expiration. CBP will not allow post-importation GSP claims made via PSC or protest for importations made after GSP expiration. Goods Subject to Section 232 (aluminum and steel) Trade preference may be claimed for all preference programs with the exception of GSP and the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). Importers making a trade preference claim under a program other than GSP or AGOA may continue to receive the preferential duty rate and any manufacturing processing fee exemption that may apply in accordance with 19 CFR 24.23(c). GSP and AGOA-eligible goods that are subject to Section 232 duties or quotas may not receive GSP or AGOA duty preference in accordance with 19 USC 2463(b)(2). Section 232 duties must be paid on imports subject to Section 232 even if trade preferences apply.
