Abstract: The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of
1985 (COBRA) (Pub. L. 99-272, 100 Stat. 82; 19 U.S.C. 58c), as amended,
authorizes the collection of user fees by U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP). The collection of these fees requires submission of
information from the party remitting the fees to CBP. This collection
of information is provided for by 19 CFR 24.22. In certain cases, this
information is submitted on one of three forms including the CBP Form
339A for payment upon arrival or prepayment of the annual user fee for
a private aircraft (19 CFR 24.22(e)(1) and (2)), CBP Form 339C for
prepayment of the annual user fee for a commercial vehicle (19 CFR
24.22(c)(3)), and CBP Form 339V for payment upon arrival or prepayment
of the annual user fee for a private vessel (19 CFR 24.22(e)(1) and
(2)). All forms can be accessed at: <a href="https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms?title_1=339">https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/publications/forms?title_1=339</a>.
The information on these forms may also be filed electronically at:
<a href="https://dtops.cbp.dhs.gov/">https://dtops.cbp.dhs.gov/</a>.
Similarly, as authorized by the COBRA, as amended, CBP collects
fees from each carrier or operator using an express consignment carrier
facility (ECCF) or a centralized hub facility as provided in 19 CFR
24.23(b)(4). The payment must be made to CBP on a quarterly basis and
must cover the individual fees for all subject transactions that
occurred during a calendar quarter. 19 CFR 24.23(b)(4)(i). The
information set forth in 19 CFR 24.23(b)(4)(iii)(B) must be included
with the quarterly payment (ECCF Quarterly Report). In cases of
overpayments, carriers or operators using an ECCF or a centralized hub
facility may send a request to CBP for a refund in accordance with 19
CFR 24.23(b)(4)(iii)(C). This request must specify the grounds for the
refund.
In addition, CBP requires a prospective ECCF to include a list of
all carriers or operators intending to use the facility, as well as
other information requested in the application for approval of the ECCF
in accordance with 19 CFR 128.11(b)(2). ECCFs are also required to
provide to CBP at the beginning of each calendar quarter, a list of all
carriers or operators currently using the facility and notify CBP
whenever a new carrier or operator begins to use the facility or
whenever a carrier or operator ceases to use the facility in accordance
with 19 CFR 128.11(b)(7)(iv).
