CSMS # 62660811 - Payment at Any Service Port
This message is being issued to provide guidance to filers on how entry summary payments are processed on the tenth day to ensure timely payment. Prior to Collections Release 7 in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) was only able to collect payment at the Port of Entry where cargo was released. This guidance clarifies the initial entry summary payment can be sent to other Service Ports or alternate Ports of Entry and not just to the Port of Entry where the cargo was released.
Filers have the option to take their entry off statement and pay with other means (cash or check) on the tenth day to ensure timely payment.
The importer has the option to remit payments for initial payment of duties, taxes, and fees to:
Service ports; payment may be sent to any service port per 19 CFR § 101.3(b)(2) , except for the Ports of Duluth, MN (3510) and Chalotte Amalie, VI (5101), as the staff and/or operations in these locations do not allow for entry summary payment processing of entry summaries from outside locations.
Additional Ports of Entry where initial payments can be processed are listed below. This list will be maintained on CBP.gov.

The flexibility does not apply to Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, which must continue to be processed separately by their own respective Ports.
CBP developed the following procedure for processing entry summary payments at any service port:
The filer removes the entry from Daily or Periodic Monthly Statement.
The filer delivers payment to a service port (or additional port as identified above) outside of the port of entry where the entry was filed.
The filer timestamps the CBP Form 7501 presented with the payment and any supporting documents at the service port. The filer should keep a copy of the timestamped CBP Form 7501 for their records as proof of timely payment.
CBP deposits the payment per its location’s collection processing times.
CBP enters the payment date as the date stamped on the CBP Form 7501. This date is the collection date.
A list of service ports can be found in 19 CFR § 101.3(b)(2) and are listed in the table below. Contact information for ports can be found at CBP.gov on the Locate a Port of Entry webpage.
