Title: Harbor Maintenance Fee. 

OMB Number: 1651–0055. 

Form Number: CBP Forms 349 and 

350. 

Abstract: The Harbor Maintenance 

Fee (HMF) and Trust Fund is used for 

the operation and maintenance of 

certain U.S. channels and harbors by the 

Army Corps of Engineers. U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) is required 

to collect the HMF from importers, 

domestic shippers, and passenger vessel 

operators using Federal navigation 

projects. Commercial cargo loaded on or 

unloaded from a commercial vessel is 

subject to a port use fee of 0.125 percent 

of its value if the loading or unloading 

occurs at a port that has been designated 

by the Army Corps of Engineers. The 

HMF also applies to the total ticket 

value of embarking and disembarking 

passengers and on cargo admissions into 

a Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ). 

CBP Form 349, Harbor Maintenance 

Fee Quarterly Summary Report, and 

CBP Form 350, Harbor Maintenance Fee 

Amended Quarterly Summary Report, 

are completed by domestic shippers, 

foreign trade zones applicants, and 

passenger vessel operators and 

submitted with payment to CBP. CBP 

proposes to amend Form 349 to add the 

respondent’s email address and fax 

number.
