SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 484 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (19 U.S.C. 1484), 

establishes the requirement for 

importers of record to make entry for 

merchandise to be imported into the 

customs territory of the United States. 

Customs entry information is used by 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) and Partner Government Agencies 

(PGAs) to determine whether 

merchandise may be released from CBP 

custody. Importers of record are also 

obligated to complete the entry by filing 

an entry summary declaring the value, 

classification and rate of duty applicable 

to the merchandise and such other 

information as is necessary for CBP to 

properly assess duties, collect accurate 

statistics and determine whether any 

other applicable requirement of law is 

met. See 19 U.S.C. 1484(a)(1)(B). 

Section 505 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended (19 U.S.C. 1505), 

establishes the requirement for 

importers of record to deposit with CBP 

the amount of duties and fees estimated 

to be payable on merchandise unless 

that merchandise is entered for 

warehouse or transportation, or under 

bond. According to section 141.101 of 

Title 19 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR), estimated duties 

shall either be deposited with a CBP 

officer at the time of filing of entry or 

entry summary documentation, or be 

transmitted to CBP pursuant to the 

statement processing method. 

A. Statement Processing 

Statement processing is a voluntary 

automated program for participants in 

the Automated Broker Interface (ABI) 

which allows entries to be grouped on 

a daily basis by importer or filer, and 

allows payment of related duties, fees 

and taxes by a single payment. See 19 

CFR 24.1(a)(8) and 24.25 and 143.32(p). 

The preferred method of payment for 

users of statement processing is by 

Automated Clearinghouse (ACH). See 19 

CFR 24.25(a). According to 19 CFR 

143.32(p), ACS, or any other CBPauthorized EDI system, generates the 

statement, which is transmitted 

electronically to the filer, consisting of 

a list of entry summaries and the 

amount of duties, fees and taxes due for 

payment. Currently, the daily 

statements are generated, transmitted 

and updated in ACS. 

B. Periodic Monthly Statement Test 

Program 

As an alternative to paying ACH 

statements on a daily basis, participants 

in the periodic monthly statements 

(PMS) test may pay ACH statements on 

a monthly basis. CBP announced its 

plan to conduct the PMS test on 

February 4, 2004 in a notice in the 

Federal Register (69 FR 5362) which
