Bureau of Customs and Border Protection January 20, 2006 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This document announces a modification in the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) National Customs Automation Program (NCAP) test concerning periodic monthly deposit of estimated duties and fees. CBP will no longer require Automated Clearing House (ACH) credit participants to initiate payment earlier than the 15th working day of the month as was required by a Federal Register notice published on August 8, 2005. CBP, however, must receive the settlement for the credit by the 15th working day in order to have the periodic monthly statement marked paid and treated as a timely payment.
