CBP User Fee Contingency Plan: January 1-31, 2009 - Extended to February 28, 2009

(01/29/2009)
The purpose of this notice is to notify you of the approval to extend the user fee contingency plan to allow conveyances that normally pay annual user fees to be cleared by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) without a per crossing/arrival payment until February 28, 2009. This contingency plan does not affect the collection of per crossing/arrival fees for conveyances that normally pay per crossing/arrival fees.

The contingency plan has been extended due to a backlog in processing decal and transponder applications that were submitted to the CBP National Finance Center prior to January 1, 2009.

In order to be eligible for the waiver of the per crossing/arrival fee, commercial and private conveyance operators must present a certified Finance Center acknowledgment or, one of the following pieces of evidence:

Commercial Conveyances:

  • 2008 transponder, or
  • DTOPS transmission receipt, or
  • CBP Finance Center electronic receipt, or
  • Verification through the ACE system of the 2008 annual fee payment

Private Conveyances:

  • 2008 transponder, or
  • DTOPS transmission receipt, or
  • CBP Finance Center electronic receipt, or
  • CBP Form 368 (Cash Collection or Receipt)

Questions regarding this notice may be directed to Mr. Chris Kennally at (202) 344-2476.
