Post Entry Amendments

Thanks to the group for recent responses on my question about handling post entry amendments under individual PEA’s and quarterly PEA’s. What about when the entry has already liquidated? Is it different??

Does anyone have some guidelines or internal procedures which they are willing to share on how to report shortages, overages, or damages back to Customs on an import. Is the threshold based on duty revenue or on value of merchandise or both? For example, if I find there are an additional $10,000 worth of parts […]

Does anyone in the group have a handy written explanation of the various ways to handle post entry amendments?? I am looking for something a bit easier to understand than the actual regulations.

I have a question regarding prior disclosures. About a month ago, we received a CF28 requesting a NAFTA certificate for a Canadian import. We didn’t have one, and in working with our broker discovered that for the past several years, they had been mistakenly been making NAFTA claims (also not following our classification database) affecting […]

I would like to know if anyone files a post entry amendment quarterly to resolve issues on various import entries, like Fedex misclassifications or how they handle these changes to their entries when they are sometimes numerous. I know about SIL and Prior disclosures, but doing these too often can lead to being on Customs […]

I have an Overage / Shortage question: Situation: over the past 6 months, our supplier has put 21,000 kgs on the invoices and packing lists for every ISO Tank (liquid) Imported to the US. It was brought to my attention a few weeks ago, that we received + / – 21,000 kgs, therefore having an […]

This question is in regards to import overage/shortage reporting. BOL, commercial invoice and packing list show a qty of 100 boxes. All 100 boxes contain the same sku number. Total value $10,000.00. Packing list shows each box with sku qty of 10 @ $10.00 each…total units 1000. Our DC currently receives in our system at […]

On overages and shortages – at what dollar amount would I need to report overages to customs?

Customs recently announced via the Federal Register that the SIL process would be discontinued effective Sept. 20. The FR outlines the scenarios in which a PEA is required to be filed as below. Does anyone have any resources that define #3 – what is required by U.S. Census? Under the PEA test, a single PEA […]

We recently started flagging our entries for value reconciliation. What is the process for filing PEA’s on entries that are flagged for reconciliation? We recently filedd a PEA for an HTS change and it was rejected stating that a claim cannot be field against an import entry flagged for reconciliation until such time as the […]

Could someone share how your company reports over/under receipts to customs?

I have an entry from August 2006 wherein the broker entered the wrong HTS. The entry was submitted with a 4.5% duty. Our original Customs duty/tax came to a total of $3881.96. As soon as we were able (within a month) we requested our broker to make a correction to the entry with the correct […]
