SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1505 and 

Treasury Decision 85–93, published in 

the Federal Register on May 29, 1985 

(50 FR 21832), the interest rate paid on 

applicable overpayments or 

underpayments of customs duties must 

be in accordance with the Internal 

Revenue Code rate established under 26 

U.S.C. 6621 and 6622. Section 6621 was 

amended (at paragraph (a)(1)(B) by the 

Internal Revenue Service Restructuring 

and Reform Act of 1998, Public Law 

105–206, 112 Stat. 685) to provide 

different interest rates applicable to 

overpayments: One for corporations and 

one for non-corporations. 

The interest rates are based on the 

Federal short-term rate and determined 

by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) on 

behalf of the Secretary of the Treasury 

on a quarterly basis. The rates effective 

for a quarter are determined during the 

first-month period of the previous 

quarter. 

In Revenue Ruling 2011–5, the IRS 

determined the rates of interest for the 

calendar quarter beginning April 1, 

2011, and ending on June 30, 2011. The 

interest rate paid to the Treasury for 

underpayments will be the Federal 

short-term rate (1%) plus three 

percentage points (3%) for a total of four 

percent (4%) for both corporations and 

non-corporations. For corporate 

overpayments, the rate is the Federal 

short-term rate (1%) plus two 

percentage points (2%) for a total of 

three percent (3%). For overpayments 

made by non-corporations, the rate is 

the Federal short-term rate (1%) plus 

three percentage points (3%) for a total 

of four percent (4%). These interest 

rates are subject to change for the 

calendar quarter beginning July 1, 2011, 

and ending September 30, 2011. 

For the convenience of the importing 

public and Customs and Border 

Protection personnel the following list 

of IRS interest rates used, covering the 

period from before July of 1974 to date, 

to calculate interest on overdue 

accounts and refunds of customs duties,
