Processing Payments for Entry Summary Cancellations

CSMS # 58168088 - Processing Payments for Entry Summary Cancellations U.S. Customs and Border Protection sent this bulletin at 10/25/2023 11:20 AM EDT CSMS # 58168088 - Processing Payments for Entry Summary Cancellations The purpose of this message is to provide interim guidance to the Port, Center of Excellence and Expertise (Center), and San Juan Field Office (SJFO) personnel on an update to entry summary cancellation policy. Effective immediately, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will grant the option to have the original entry summary cancelled and taken off a daily or periodic statement while it is in CBP control as long as there is a valid bond, and the replacement entry summary is scheduled for payment. See 19 CFR 113.11 and 19 CFR 113.13. This action will be beneficial to the Trade, as CBP will no longer demand payment to be tendered on both the original and the replacement entry when a cancellation request is submitted with a cover letter and supporting documentation while the original entry summary lingers within the 10 business days of filing summary on a daily payment or 15 business days in the next month for periodic payment. If the duty is paid on the original entry summary and goes into CBP control, the broker should request an administrative refund by filing a cancellation request cover letter and supporting documentation. If the request is found to be valid, the administrative refund will be processed first, followed by the cancellation of the entry summary. If there are any questions or concerns, please contact CBP’s Office of Trade, Commercial Operations Revenue and Entry Division at OTENTRYSUMMARY@cbp.dhs.gov
