Statement processing reduces the processing time for collection and acceptance of an entry summary. Update a scheduled statement with additions and deletions, or reschedule entry summaries for payment, up to the day before the statement date. Receive receipt for payment in the form of a final statement of all entries paid. Reduce the costs and risks of handling multiple paper checks. Importer statements group entry summaries for a single importer.
Statements are available in broker reference number order or entry summary number order.
For more details on statement processing, see Customs Automated Broker Interface page's section on Statement Processing . ACH is an electronic payment option that allows ABI filers to pay Customs fees, duties, and taxes with one electronic transaction. The payer's account is debited and the Customs account is credited with the amount due. The accuracy and speed of ACH results in a higher volume of completed transactions for the importer and Customs, saving time and money. Pay all ABI statements in a central location.
