QUESTION: Do any members have the experience of filing a timely PSC yet Customs takes no action on it and liquidates the entry with no change?

QUESTION: We are finding that some of our PSCs, although sent to CBP by our broker were not actually processed by CBP. We’d like to close the hole in this process by monitoring that we receive either an Approval or Denial indication from CBP. Our broker advises ACE is only for protests and 520(d) claims. […]
QUESTION: I was wondering if there was an industry standard for filing Post Summary Corrections. During post-entry audits we often find things that were missed on the original 7501, such as our broker assigning an incorrect HTS code, thus affecting the duty rate, an assist missed in filing, or maybe the container was short-shipped and […]
QUESTION: We do our entry review the same week we receive the billing back from our broker so mistakes are caught fairly quickly. We have caught two entries this week with incorrect HTSUS numbers.

QUESTION: Please forgive me for bringing this up as this has been brought up before, but I’m finding conflicting information in my research.

QUESTION: We understand that PSCs with a revenue adjustment of less than $ 20.00 are not required. We import under a preferential trade program and have discovered potential issues with our valuation. There will be zero duty impact with making value corrections so we are clearly under $ 20.00/entry. I would think to cover ourselves […]

QUESTION: We file Post Summary Corrections when we determine upon receipt that there were overages or shortages of product even if the difference in duties and fees is less than $20. Occasionally, these discrepancies are simply the wrong style number being provided. The HTS classification and quantity are the same, but the value may differ […]
QUESTION: For non-revenue corrections such relationship, Country or export or country of origin, in case of multiple entries, is PSC the only way to correct before liquidation date?

QUESTION: Can you submit a 520d and a post entry amendment for an MA on the same entry? I was told by my broker that when filing a PEA/520d I could only choose one or the other? If that is the case does someone have a link to the publication or section of the regulations […]
QUESTION: My company is trying to find specific guidelines to tell us when to file a Post Summary Correction (PSC). Originally we were using the Federal Register Volume 65 No 229 for guidelines when filing for Post Entry Amendments.
