In CSMS # 61572319 on July 29, 2024, CBP has outlined the key points on upcoming adjustments to certain customs user fees and corresponding limitations, which will take effect on October 1, 2024. Some highlights:
The Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) ad valorem rate of 0.3464% remains unchanged, however the minimum and maximums for formal entries will increase.
a. The minimum will change from $31.67 to $32.71; and
b. The maximum will change from $614.35 to $634.62.
The Surcharge for Manual, Formal Entry/Release (class code 500) will change to $3.93.
The Commercial Truck Arrival fee (class code 492) will change to $7.20.
a. The Commercial Truck Arrival Fee is the CBP fee only; it does not include the fiscal year 2025 United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Agricultural and Quarantine Inspection (AQI) User Fee ($12.40) that is collected by CBP on behalf of USDA to make a total Single Crossing Fee of $19.60. See7 CFR 354.3(c) and 19 CFR 24.22(c)(1).
b. Once eighteen Single Crossing Fees have been paid and used for a vehicle identification number (VIN)/vehicle in a Decal and Transponder Online Procurement System (DTOPS) account within a calendar year, the payment required for the nineteenth (and subsequent) single-crossing is only the $12.40 AQI fee and no longer includes CBP's $7.20 Commercial Truck Arrival fee (for the remainder of that calendar year).
The Dutiable Mail fee (class code 496) will change to $7.20.
