According to today’s CBP release (CSMS #52834229):

  • The merchandise processing fee (MPF) ad valorem rate of 0.3464% will not change. The MPF minimum and maximum for formal entries (class code 499) will change. The minimum will change from $27.75 to $29.66; and the maximum will change from $538.40 to $575.35.
  • The fee for informal entry/release, automated and not prepared by CBP personnel (class code 311a) will change to $2.37.

  • The dutiable mail fee (class code 496) will change to $6.52.
  • The express consignment carrier/centralized hub facility fee will change to $1.19 per individual waybill/bill of lading. An individual air waybill is the bill at the lowest level, and is not a master bill or other consolidated document.

  • The commercial vessel passenger arrival (from exempt areas) customs fee will change to $2.29 per passenger.
  • The commercial truck arrival fee will change to $6.50.  The commercial truck arrival fee is the CBP fee only; it does not include the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) agricultural and quarantine inspection (AQI) services fee (currently $7.55) that is collected by CBP on behalf of USDA to make a total single crossing fee of $14.05.
