Section 192.1 Definitions The following are general definitions for the purposes of CFR 192.2: Certified. "Certified" when used with reference to copy means a document issued by an authorized government authority that includes on it a signed statement by the authority that the copy is an authentic copy of the original. Copy. "Copy" refers to a duplicate or photocopy of an original document. When there is any writing on the backside of an original document, a "complete copy" means that both sides of the document are copied. Export. "Export" refers to the transportation of merchandise out of the U.S. for the purpose of being entered into the commerce of a foreign country. Self-Propelled Vehicle. "Self-propelled" vehicle includes any automobile, truck, tractor, bus, motorcycle, motor home, self-propelled agricultural machinery, self-propelled construction equipment, self-propelled special use equipment, and any other self-propelled vehicle used or designed for running on land but not rail. Ultimate Purchaser. "Ultimate Purchaser" means the first person, other than a dealer purchasing in his capacity as a dealer, who in good faith purchases a self-propelled vehicle for purposes other than resale. Used. "Used" refers to any self-propelled vehicle the equitable or legal title to which has been transferred by a manufacturer, distributor, or dealer to an ultimate purchaser. Documentary Status It is the responsibility of the reviewing inspector to ensure that an original certificate of title is presented as provided for in 19 CFR 192.2 (b). The certificate of title is the core requirement in the Customs export process, regardless of the vehicle's economic value, physical condition, or operating order. Structure of the Regulations Procedurally, all exporters or their agents who present a document to Customs are to begin at 19 CFR 192.2 (b) (1) and then progress through each subsection until the exporter arrives at the section and subsection(s) that apply to the vehicle that has been presented to Customs for export. This procedure ensures that no requirement is misinterpreted, misapplied, or circumvented by either the exporter or the reviewing Customs officer. Section 192.2 Requirements for Exportation An agency may not conduct or sponsor an information collection and a person is not required to respond to this information unless it displays a current valid OMB control number and an expiration date. The control number for this collection is 1651-0054. The estimated average time to complete this application is 10 minutes.

Exportation of a vehicle will be permitted only upon compliance with these requirements, unless the vehicle was entered into the United States under an in-bond procedure, a carnet, a Temporary Importation Bond, or under a personal exemption for non-residents who entered the vehicle for a 1-year period. Documentation required For U.S.-titled vehicles Vehicles issued an original certificate of title. For used, self-propelled vehicles issued, by any jurisdiction in the United States, a Certificate of Title or a Salvage Title that remains in force, the owner must provide to Customs the original Certificate of Title or a Certified Copy of the Certificate of Title and two complete copies of the original Certificate of Title or the Certified Copy of the original. Where title evidences third-party ownership/claims. If the used, self-propelled vehicle is leased or a recorded lien exists in the U.S., in addition to complying with paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section, the provisional owner must provide to Customs a separate writing from the third-party-in interest which expressly provides that the subject vehicle may be exported.

Where U.S. Government Employees are involved. If the used self-propelled vehicle is owned by a U. S. Government Employee and is being exported in conjunction with that employee's reassignment abroad pursuant to official travel orders, then, in lieu of complying with paragraph (b)(1)(i) of this section, the employee may be required to establish that he has complied with the sponsoring agency's internal travel department procedures for vehicle export. For foreign-titled vehicles. For used, self-propelled vehicles that are registered or titled abroad, the owner must provide to Customs the original document that provides satisfactory proof of ownership (with an English translation of the text if the original language is not in English), and two complete copies of that document (and translation, if necessary). For untitled vehicles Newly manufactured vehicles, issued a Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO).

Learn more about what to watch out for and protect your information . U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is developing the Consolidated Administration and Processing of Entries (CAPE) functionality within the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) to streamline the submission and processing of valid refund requests for duties imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), as authorized by court order or applicable law. CAPE is designed to consolidate refunds of IEEPA duties including interest rather than processing refunds on an entry-by-entry basis. CBP plans to implement CAPE through a phased development approach, adding more functionality in subsequent phases for more complicated scenarios. The CAPE process is being deployed in phases, and CBP will launch the first phase of CAPE on April 20, 2026. Phase 1 is limited to certain unliquidated entries and certain entries within 80 days of liquidation. Requesting refunds of IEEPA duties requires only the following summarized actions: Importers of Record and authorized Customs brokers have an established ACE Secure Data Portal account (ACE Portal account) Recipients use the ACE Portal account to provide CBP with bank account information Importers of Record and authorized Customs brokers submit CAPE Declarations in the ACE Portal (See below for details) Visit Applying for an ACE Portal Importer Account and Enrolling in ACH Refunds . Importers of Record (IORs) and Customs brokers will be able to file a CAPE Declaration, using a Comma-Separated Values (.CSV) file, through their web-based ACE Secure Data Portal (ACE Portal) account. Filers will not use the Automated Broker Interface (ABI) to file a CAPE Declaration. The CAPE Declaration consists of the list of entries for which refunds of IEEPA duties are being requested. CBP will not require any other information in the .CSV file. Each individual CAPE Declaration has a limit of 9,999 entries. IORs and brokers can file multiple CAPE Declarations. The CAPE Declaration template file will be available through the “Upload” button in the CAPE tab. Only the IOR for the listed entries or the authorized customs broker that filed the entries on behalf of the IOR may file the CAPE Declaration. Once a CAPE Declaration is validated and accepted, ACE


CBP will not require any other information in the .CSV file. Each individual CAPE Declaration has a limit of 9,999 entries. IORs and brokers can file multiple CAPE Declarations. The CAPE Declaration template file will be available through the “Upload” button in the CAPE tab. Only the IOR for the listed entries or the authorized customs broker that filed the entries on behalf of the IOR may file the CAPE Declaration. Once a CAPE Declaration is validated and accepted, ACE will update the appropriate entry summary lines by removing the IEEPA Harmonized Tariff Schedule Chapter 99 provision and the corresponding IEEPA duties, resulting in an updated version of the entry. Following CBP review, entries will be liquidated or reliquidated and refunds will be consolidated by IOR, or by the party the IOR has designated to receive refunds on its behalf via CBP Form 4811 (“Form 4811 notify party”), and liquidation date. Importers and authorized brokers should anticipate that valid IEEPA refunds will generally be issued within 60 - 90 days following acceptance of the CAPE Declaration, unless a compliance concern requires further CBP review. However, certain scenarios, such as entries that are extended, suspended or under review, and warehouse entries, will maintain their liquidation status with validated refunds issued at liquidation. Please note that all CAPE-processed IEEPA duty refunds will be subject to all applicable laws and regulations concerning the liquidation/reliquidation of entries, including the netting of all over- and under-payments for the entire entry, as determined at liquidation or reliquidation, see 19 C.F.R. § 159.1, as well as the potential diversion of refunds as necessary and appropriate to offset the importer’s legally fixed and undisputed unpaid debts to the United States, if any, see 19 C.F.R. § 24.72. Close all Open all IEEPA Search Enter text to search all accordion content below. Getting Started How can I prepare? Updated 4/10/2026 IORs and brokers should ensure they have an ACE Portal account and that their bank account information for refunds has been added to their account. To provide your refund bank account information, you will need to have the “Importer” sub-account in the ACE Portal. IORs and customs brokers can also begin compiling lists of entries on which IEEPA duties were paid. When will CAPE be available to file a Declaration? Updated 4/15/2026 The CAPE tool will be live in ACE starting at 8am EST on April 20, 2026. Do I need to file a case at the Court of International Trade to preserve my IEEPA refund rights? Updated 4/15/2026 For Phase 1 which is limited to unliquidated entries or entries within the 90-day voluntary reliquidation period, you do not need to file a case with the CIT to receive an IEEPA refund due to you. Filing a CAPE Declaration Who can file a CAPE Declaration? Updated 4/10/2026 Only the IOR or the licensed customs broker who filed the entries can file a CAPE Declaration. Is a CAPE Declaration filed by a customs broker limited to entries filed for a single IOR? Updated 4/10/2026 No. A broker can include up to 9,999 entries that they filed on behalf of various IORs on a single CAPE Declaration. Can I amend my CAPE Declaration after initial submission and acceptance? Updated 4/10/2026 No, once a CAPE Declaration has been filed and accepted, it cannot be amended. After I filed a CAPE Declaration, I went back through my records and found additional entries that are eligible for IEEPA refunds. Do I add them to my existing CAPE Declaration, or do I need to file a new one? Updated 4/10/2026 You will need to file a new CAPE Declaration with those entries not previously submitted on a CAPE Declaration. Each entry may only be submitted on one accepted CAPE Declaration. Entries on a CAPE Declaration will receive a rejection error if they were included on a previous Declaration. My entry shows a liquidation status of suspended/extended/under review in ACE. Can I include this entry on my CAPE Declaration? Updated 4/10/2026 Yes. Entry summaries with the liquidation status of suspended, extended, or under review may be included in your CAPE Declaration. Entry summaries that are suspended, extended, or under review will maintain their liquidation status until


on one accepted CAPE Declaration. Entries on a CAPE Declaration will receive a rejection error if they were included on a previous Declaration. My entry shows a liquidation status of suspended/extended/under review in ACE. Can I include this entry on my CAPE Declaration? Updated 4/10/2026 Yes. Entry summaries with the liquidation status of suspended, extended, or under review may be included in your CAPE Declaration. Entry summaries that are suspended, extended, or under review will maintain their liquidation status until resolved and the refund, if validated, will be issued at liquidation. May I include liquidated entries on my CAPE Declaration? Updated 4/10/2026 During Phase 1, ACE will accept CAPE Declarations containing entries liquidated within the preceding 80 days. This will allow sufficient time for CBP to process and reliquidate entries by the 90th day to meet the agency’s legal timeframe for voluntary reliquidation pursuant to 19 U.S.C. § 1501.

Updated 4/15/2026 The CAPE Declaration consists of the list of entries for which refunds of IEEPA duties are being requested. CBP does not require any other information in the .CSV file. I am an attorney; can I file a CAPE declaration on behalf of an importer? Updated 4/15/2026 No. Only the IOR or the licensed customs broker who filed the entries can file a CAPE Declaration. What are the recordkeeping requirements for a CAPE Declaration? Updated 4/15/2026 There are no new recordkeeping requirements for the CAPE Declaration. You should continue to follow all applicable recordkeeping requirements. My entry summaries all have different projected liquidation dates. Can I file these entry summaries on one CAPE Declaration? Updated 4/15/2026 Yes, you can file all eligible entry summaries on one CAPE declaration, whether or not they have liquidated and whether or not they share the same upcoming liquidation date. During Phase 1, ACE will accept CAPE Declarations containing entries liquidated within the preceding 80 days. How can I track the status of the CAPE Declaration? Updated 4/15/2026 ACE Portal users with Importer sub-account access can monitor refund activity using ACE Reports. The REV-603 Trade Refund report covers successful refunds. The REV-613 ACH Rejected Refunds report highlights any refunds that have been rejected due to the recipient not being enrolled in ACH Refunds. For help with refund reports, review the ACE Refund Report training guide . For more information about rejected refunds, see Replacement Refund Instructions . Processing the CAPE Declaration How will I know if my CAPE Declaration was accepted? Updated 4/10/2026 When you file a CAPE Declaration by uploading your .CSV file in the ACE Portal, the file itself, as well as the entry summaries listed, will be validated and you will receive a CAPE claim number. This indicates that the CAPE Declaration is accepted and will continue processing for the accepted entries. What if my CAPE Declaration is rejected? Updated 4/10/2026 Once a CAPE Declaration is filed, the Declaration, as well as the entry summaries listed, will be validated before a CAPE Declaration is accepted into the ACE Portal and assigned a CAPE claim number. Any entry summaries that are not accepted will be removed from the Declaration, with all valid entry summaries remaining to continue through the process. The filer can view which entry summaries were accepted or rejected, and the reason for rejection. When CBP diverts a refund for an existing bill, how is this communicated to the trade and how is the trade able to identify the specifics of the liquidation? Updated 4/17/2026 Diversion occurs after liquidation of the entry summary but before the refund is issued. The Trade can run the REV-603, Trade Refund Report, or, effective 4/20/26, the REV-615, Trade CAPE Detail Refund Report. Both reports have a column labeled Refund Secondary Status that will show as “Funds Diverted” once the funds are actually diverted. How does CBP net over- and under- payments within an entry summary, and how is this communicated to the trade? Updated 4/17/2026 If multiple actions are taken on an entry summary, e.g., an increase in value on line 001 with a corresponding increase in duty and a classification change on line 002 resulting in a decrease in duty, CBP nets the changes in the liquidation of the entry summary for a single revenue change. An importer or broker with an ACE Account may access the ES-701 Courtesy Notice of Liquidation Report or the ES-702 Official Notice of Extension, Suspension and Liquidation Report to identify the liquidated amount on the entry summary. For change liquidations, the ES-701 and ES-702 include the amount of the bill or refund, along with the corresponding amount of interest. Effective 4/20/26, Importers or Brokers with ACE Accounts will also be able to access the


summary for a single revenue change. An importer or broker with an ACE Account may access the ES-701 Courtesy Notice of Liquidation Report or the ES-702 Official Notice of Extension, Suspension and Liquidation Report to identify the liquidated amount on the entry summary. For change liquidations, the ES-701 and ES-702 include the amount of the bill or refund, along with the corresponding amount of interest. Effective 4/20/26, Importers or Brokers with ACE Accounts will also be able to access the new REV-615 Trade CAPE Detail Refund Report. This report will provide consolidated CAPE refund information as well as entry-level refund information. Issuance of Refunds How will IEEPA refunds be issued? Updated 4/10/2026 All refunds are required to be paid electronically via Automated Clearing House (ACH) (Federal Register Document 2025-24171 ). To receive a refund, CBP must have your bank information on file. If bank information designated for refunds is not on file with CBP, the refund will not be paid until that information is provided through the ACE Secure Data Portal (ACE Portal). See more information at ACH Refund Enrollment Overview . Who will receive the refund(s) associated with the CAPE Declaration? Updated 4/10/2026 The IOR or the party designated by the IOR (the 4811 notify party) on either the CBP Form 4811 (Special Address Notification) or on the ACE Portal account, and on the entry summary will be eligible to receive refunds. Can I still get a refund if I don’t have an ACE Portal account? Updated 4/10/2026 No. To get a refund, bank account information must be provided using an ACE Portal account. In addition, the importer or broker who files the CAPE Declaration must have an ACE Portal account. Can I still get a refund if I don’t have an ACH account or my ACH information is not current in my ACE Portal account? Updated 4/10/2026 If you have not updated your ACE Portal account with your current ACH information, you will not receive a refund. CBP will hold the refund until the ACH account information is available. When should I expect to receive my refund? Updated 4/10/2026 Importers and authorized brokers should anticipate that valid IEEPA refunds will generally be issued within 60 - 90 days following acceptance of the CAPE Declaration, unless a compliance concern requires further CBP review. However, certain scenarios, such as entries that are extended, suspended or under review, and warehouse entries, will maintain their liquidation status with validated refunds issued at liquidation. I have an outstanding debt to CBP. Will I still receive my refund? Updated 4/15/2026 If you file a CAPE declaration and are owed a refund, but you also have an outstanding debt with CBP, CBP will, consistent with established practice, apply the refund owed to that outstanding debt per 19 CFR § 24.72. If any balance of the refund remains, it will be issued to the appropriate party. Subsequent Phases of CAPE What types of entries will be included in upcoming phases of CAPE? Updated 4/10/2026 At this time, CBP is evaluating functionality for the following types of entries in subsequent phases of CAPE, in accordance with appropriate statutory authority or court order. Further communications will be issued as additional capabilities are developed. Entries that have been flagged for reconciliation, as well as Entry Type 09 - Reconciliation Summary Entries designated on a drawback claim Entries covered by an open protest Entries not filed in ACE, and entries without a liquidation status in ACE Entries subject to Antidumping/Countervailing Duties (AD/CVD), for which the Department of Commerce (DOC) has issued liquidation instructions, that are pending liquidation in accordance with 19 U.S.C. § 1504(d) Entries for which liquidation is final.

EAPA establishes procedures for an “ interested party” to submit an allegation that an importer is evading its payment of antidumping and countervailing (AD/CVD) duties. AD and CVD duties are intended to offset the value of dumping and/or subsidization, thereby leveling the playing field for domestic industries injured by such unfairly traded imports. Benefits of Filing an EAPA Allegation Creates a multi-party proceeding with greater information-sharing and transparency to investigate the evasion of AD/CVD orders. Requires CBP to determine whether evasion occurred within specified timeframes and provide that determination to the parties to the investigation. Provides CBP with new tools to investigate allegations and authorizes the collection of information from the party bringing the allegation, the importer, the foreign manufacturer/exporter, and even the foreign government. Allows for parties to the investigation to contest the determination as to evasion by requesting an administrative review of the determination with CBP Office of Trade’s Regulations and Rulings Directorate. Afterward, a party to that administrative review may file suit with the Court of International Trade to contest CBP's determination. Filing an EAPA Allegation How to File an EAPA allegation? Interested parties must file an EAPA Allegation through the “Report Enforce and Protect Act Violations” option on CBP’s Trade Violations Reporting tool.

General Questions Close all Open all What is an “effective IEEPA tariff rate”? As used in Executive Order 14324, the term "effective IEEPA tariff rate” refers to the total duty rate imposed on an article pursuant to all applicable Chapter 99 headings in the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule corresponding to a duty imposed to address a national emergency under IEEPA. Are there any exemptions to Executive Order 14324? Duty-free de minimis treatment shall remain available for the following: Goods covered under 50 U.S.C. § 1702(b) – such as certain donations and informational materials. Bona fide gifts as defined in 19 C.F.R § 10.153(a) – articles formerly owned by a donor who gave it outright in its entirety to a donee without compensation or promise of compensation. It does not include articles acquired by purchase, barter, promissory exchange, or similar transaction, nor does it include articles said to be “given” in conjunction with a purchase, barter, promissory exchange, or similar transaction, such as a so-called bonus article. Mail flats, documents and letters that do not contain merchandise (P and G format mail shipments). If carriers or qualified parties are importing packages covered by EO 14324 they are required to provide the required data per the worksheet including exemptions. Exemptions listed under ANNEX II of EO 14257 do not apply to International Mail. How is duty paid on international mail shipments valued over $800? Shipments valued over $800 that are sent through the international postal network are not covered by Executive Order 14324. Such shipments remain subject to all current legal requirements and must follow existing processes for entry and assessment of duty. How do I calculate duty if I have products from multiple countries in one international mail package? If there are products from multiple countries within one international mail package, and the specific duty rate method is being used, the highest International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) duty


E-Commerce Frequently Asked Questions

sent through the international postal network are not covered by Executive Order 14324. Such shipments remain subject to all current legal requirements and must follow existing processes for entry and assessment of duty. How do I calculate duty if I have products from multiple countries in one international mail package? If there are products from multiple countries within one international mail package, and the specific duty rate method is being used, the highest International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) duty rate must be applied to the entire package. How do I claim USMCA preference on goods that previously qualified for de minimis? To claim USMCA preference of goods previously qualified as de minimis, you must file an appropriate formal or informal entry with CBP. USMCA preference cannot be claimed for postal shipments subject to Section 3 of Executive Order 14324 (July 30, 2025). Is mail sent to the U.S. Government dutiable? Generally, merchandise mailed to a U.S. government agency is dutiable unless a specific exemption applies. Pursuant to 19 C.F.R. § 145.37(a), “[m]ail articles marked for copyright which are addressed to the Library of Congress, to the U.S. Copyright Office, or to the office of the Register of Copyrights, Washington, DC, shall be passed free of duty without issuing an entry.” Certain types of books and other materials mailed to a U.S. Government agency or Department or the Library of Congress are similarly passed duty-free and without an entry. 19 C.F.R. § 145.37(b). Pursuant to 19 C.F.R. § 145.39, articles “addressed to diplomatic officers [and] representatives of certain international organizations” may also be duty-free. If “mail articles addressed to offices or officials of the U.S. Government . . . [are] believed to contain merchandise, [they] shall be treated in the same manner as other mail articles of merchandise.” 19 C.F.R. § 145.37(c). What does Executive Order 14324, “Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries” do? Effective August 29, 2025, this Executive Order suspends duty-free treatment for low-value shipments (valued at or under $800) from all countries, that would otherwise qualify for duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C). Beginning on such date, these shipments will no longer be eligible for this treatment and will be subject to all relevant admissibility requirements as well as the assessment of specified duties. What is the difference between how postal shipments and non-postal shipments are treated? Non-postal shipments will be subject to all applicable duties, taxes, and fees and must be filed using an appropriate entry type in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) by a party qualified to make entry - unless another entry type is appropriate. Postal shipments will be subject to International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) tariffs, which can be assessed using one of two methods: Ad valorem duty : A duty equal to the effective IEEPA tariff for the country of origin of the product, based on the value of the product. Specific duty : A flat duty ranging from $80 per item to $200 per item, depending on the effective IEEPA tariff rate applicable to the country of origin of the product. No entry will be prepared for such postal shipments by CBP, and the duties owed will be remitted by a carrier or other qualified party on a monthly basis. Is military mail subject to tariffs described in Executive Order 14324? No. Shipments sent to the U.S. from U.S. military addresses abroad, including Army Post Office (APO), Fleet Post Office (FPO) or Diplomatic Post Office (DPO) addresses, originate and remain in the domestical mail stream of the U.S. Postal Service. Accordingly, such shipments are not “sent through the international postal network” and thus not subject to duties in Section 3 of Executive Order 14324. Are letters and flats subject to the duties? Letters and flats (P and G format post items) that do not contain merchandise are not subject to the duties. If a carrier of items sent through the international postal network transports only items that are not subject to duties imposed by Executive Order 14324, are they required to submit a monthly duty remittance worksheet? No. If the carrier does not transport any dutiable items sent through the international postal network during the monthly

and flats subject to the duties? Letters and flats (P and G format post items) that do not contain merchandise are not subject to the duties. If a carrier of items sent through the international postal network transports only items that are not subject to duties imposed by Executive Order 14324, are they required to submit a monthly duty remittance worksheet? No. If the carrier does not transport any dutiable items sent through the international postal network during the monthly reporting period, then a monthly duty remittance worksheet is not required. However, if CBP determines that such mail was falsely declared, then CBP will assess applicable duties, require formal entry, or return to sender, and may take additional enforcement action as appropriate. Qualified Parties How does CBP define a “qualified party” for the purposes of collecting and paying duty on de minimis shipments entering through international mail? Qualified Parties are companies working with or independently of a carrier, foreign postal operator, or the United States Postal Service. Pursuant to Section 3(a) of Executive Order 14324, such companies are authorized to remit the duties owed for postal shipments in lieu of a carrier. Qualified parties assume the liability for proper remittance of the duties under one of the two methodologies described in the order, which is secured by a basic importation and entry bond (19 C.F.R. § 113.62). Is a qualified party required to have a customs broker license? No. Does the qualified party have to be headquartered in the United States? No. When do mail shipments subject to EO 14324 liquidate? Postal shipments are liquidated upon payment of duties. CBP has 90 days to reliquidate. Parties have 180 days to file a protest or the liquidation, and any subsequent reliquidation, becomes final. Can a foreign post use more than one qualified party? Yes If I am a carrier working with a qualified party, do I still need to have or maintain a bond? Yes. Carriers must maintain their international carrier bond as part of transporting international mail or cargo into the United States. However, if a qualified party is remitting duties owed for postal shipments in accordance with Section 3 of Executive Order 14324, it is the qualified party’s bond which is obligated. If a qualified party has assumed liability for the proper remittance of duties on an international postal shipment, will the carrier still be liable if the qualified party fails to pay any of such duties? No, if a qualified party assumes liability for proper remittance of the duties owed for shipments identified on the monthly worksheet submitted to CBP, it is the qualified party, not the carrier, who will be liable for any underpayment under the terms of their basic importation bond (along with the surety on the bond). Can carriers or qualified parties mix duty methodologies for international mail shipments? No. As of August 29, 2025, and until February 28, 2026, carriers or other qualified parties must apply the same duty collection methodology to all postal shipments throughout a duty remittance period. The duty collection methodology may be changed once per calendar month, providing at least 24 hours of notice to CBP. Effective February 28, 2026, only the ad valorem duty methodology may be used. Where can I find guidance on the payment of duty on international mail shipments? CSMS # 65934463 - GUIDANCE: Payment of Duty on International Mail Shipments pursuant to Executive Order 14324 “Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries” What is the CBP Form 5106? CBP 5106 is the “Create/Update Importer Identification Form,” is used to register an entity wishing to do business with CBP. The entity will be assigned an identification number that will be either an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Employer Identification Number (EIN), a Social Security Number (SSN), or a CBP-Assigned Number (CAN), in accordance with 19 C.F.R. § 24.5(b)-(c). Any entity can begin conducting business with CBP and establish a bond only after this form has been processed and the entity has been assigned a CBP importer account. What is the process for submitting the CBP Form 5106? Qualified parties can find the CBP Form 5106 online at: CBP Form 5106 online at: CBP Form 5106 -

(IRS) Employer Identification Number (EIN), a Social Security Number (SSN), or a CBP-Assigned Number (CAN), in accordance with 19 C.F.R. § 24.5(b)-(c). Any entity can begin conducting business with CBP and establish a bond only after this form has been processed and the entity has been assigned a CBP importer account. What is the process for submitting the CBP Form 5106? Qualified parties can find the CBP Form 5106 online at: CBP Form 5106 online at: CBP Form 5106 - Create/Update Importer Identity Form . Once completed, the CBP Form 5106 should be submitted to CBP via email at: bondquestions@cbp.dhs.gov , with the subject line: “New Bond IR#.” This email submission process is only for the qualified parties allowed for in EO 14324. Carriers must continue to manage their transportation bonds using existing processes. CBP will review the information in the CBP Form 5106 and notify the qualified party once it is processed and a CBP importer account has been created. If I have a CBP Form 5106 on file with CBP and already have a bond, am I automatically qualified as a third party to transmit data and duty payment to CBP on international mail shipments per Executive Order 14324? No. Even if a party already has a CBP Form 5106 on file with CBP and the appropriate bond, the party must still confirm that it can collect the required data elements and pay duty via Pay.gov. Notification should be sent to CBP at: cbpdm@cbp.dhs.gov. CBP will then review and approve that party’s ability to serve as a qualified third party. How would a qualified party obtain a bond? A CBP single transaction or continuous bond ( CBP Form 301 or its electronic equivalent) may be obtained from a surety company. CBP cannot recommend any particular surety. Please visit the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Bureau of the Fiscal Service website and research the List of Certified Surety Companies to find a company. Sureties will charge a fee for their services, and CBP does not know or control those rates. To obtain a bond, you must provide the surety with the CBP importer account identification number assigned to you when the CBP Form 5106 was processed. It is essential to ensuring this form has been processed when working with the surety to obtain a bond. Should bona-fide gifts that are sent through the international postal network be reported on the monthly duty remittance worksheet submitted by carriers and qualified parties to CBP? Yes. To ensure that carriers and qualified parties are properly remitting the duties owed on articles sent through the international postal network that were formerly eligible for de minimis treatment but that are now subject to duties pursuant to Executive Order 14324 of July 30, 2025, “Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries,” the monthly duty remittance worksheet should identify any bona-fide gifts for which duties were not remitted. The global suspension of de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. § 1321(a)(2)(C) does not affect the duty-free treatment accorded to bona-fide gifts under 19 U.S.C. § 1321(a)(2)(A), and qualifying bona fide gifts that are sent through the international postal network will continue to pass free of duty and without the preparation of an entry in accordance with 19 C.F.R. § 145.32. However, CBP will use the information provided on the monthly duty remittance worksheets to verify compliance with EO 14324 as it pertains to articles that were formerly eligible for de minimis treatment, as well as the applicable requirements for any bona-fide gifts for which duties are not remitted. If CBP determines that mail articles are falsely being declared as bona-fide gifts, or exceed the $100 aggregate value limit (or $200 in the case of articles sent as bona fide gifts from persons in the Virgin Islands, Guam, and American Samoa), such articles are subject to all applicable duties, taxes, and fees, and CBP may require a formal entry, in addition to other potential enforcement actions.
