CBP Revises CSMS Message on MPF Fees Due to Bad Link

A link included in a recent CSMS message on retroactive merchandise processing fee (MPF) billing was sent out by mistake, said CBP in a June 20 CSMS message (12-000229). The June 15 message (12-000217) provided links to intranet pages that are not available to the public and was intended to assist field processing, said CBP. The message, which said CBP will begin retroactive billing for merchandise entered between October 1 and November 4, 2011, with the increased MPF, will be deleted, said CBP.

The new CSMS message also includes the same information on the MPF billing as did the June 15 message.
