Stat. 462); Panama (Pub. L. 112–43); and
Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, El
Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and
Nicaragua (Pub. L. 109–53, 119 Stat.

Origin.

Customs Broker Permit User Fee
Payment for 2023
U.S. Customs and Border
Protection, Department of Homeland
Security.
ACTION: General notice.
AGENCY:
This document provides
notice to customs brokers that the
annual user fee that is assessed for each
permit held by a broker, whether it may
be an individual, partnership,
association, or corporation, is due no
later than February 24, 2023. The
annual user fee reflects the changes
made by two final rules, published in
the Federal Register on October 18,
2022, and effective December 19, 2022,
that eliminate broker districts and
district permits, and transition all
customs brokers to a single national
permit. Pursuant to fee adjustments
required by the Fixing America’s
Surface Transportation Act (FAST ACT)
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) regulations, the annual user fee
payable for calendar year 2023 will be
$163.71.
DATES: Payment of the 2023 Customs
Broker Permit User Fee is due no later
than February 24, 2023.

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Pursuant to section 111.96 of title 19
of the Code of Federal Regulations (19
VerDate Sep<11>2014
20:05 Dec 15, 2022
Jkt 259001
CFR 111.96(c)), U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) assesses an
annual user fee for each customs broker
permit held by an individual,
partnership, association, or corporation.
CBP regulations provide that this fee is
payable each calendar year for a
national permit held by a broker and
must be paid by the due date published
annually in the Federal Register. See 19
CFR 24.22(h) and (i)(9); 19 CFR
111.96(c).
On October 18, 2022, CBP published
two concurrent final rules in the
Federal Register (87 FR 63262 and 87
FR 63267) modernizing the customs
broker regulations in parts 24 and 111
of title 19 of the CFR. These two final
rules eliminate broker districts and
district permits, as well as the permit
user fees for district permits. CBP is in
the process of transitioning all district
permit holders to a national permit. In
accordance with the effective date of
these two final rules on December 19,
2022, all permit holders will hold one
national permit only and must pay
annual user fees for one national permit
only.
Sections 24.22 and 24.23 of title 19 of
the CFR (19 CFR 24.22 and 24.23)
provide for and describe the procedures
that implement the requirements of the
Fixing America’s Surface Transportation
Act (FAST Act) (Pub. L. 114–94,
December 4, 2015). Section 32201 of the
FAST Act amended section 13031 of the
Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act (COBRA) of 1985 (19
U.S.C. 58c) by requiring the Secretary of
the Treasury to adjust certain customs
COBRA user fees and corresponding
limitations to reflect certain increases in
inflation. Paragraph (k) in section 24.22
(19 CFR 24.22(k)) sets forth the
methodology to adjust fees for inflation,
and to determine the change in inflation
as well as the factor by which the fees
and limitations will be adjusted, if
necessary. The customs broker permit
user fee is set forth in appendix A of
part 24, which lists fees and limitations
subject to the adjustment. (19 CFR 24.22
appendix A.) On August 1, 2022, CBP
published a Federal Register notice,
CBP Dec. 22–17, which among other
things, announced that the annual
customs broker permit user fee would
increase to $163.71 for calendar year
2023. See 87 FR 46973.
As required by 19 CFR 111.96 and
24.22, CBP must provide notice in the
Federal Register no later than 60 days
before the date that the payment is due
for each broker permit. This document
notifies customs brokers that for
calendar year 2023, the due date for
payment of the user fee is February 24,
2023.
