CBP Form 7501 is used by CBP as a
record of the import transaction, to collect proper duty, taxes,
certifications and enforcement endorsements, and to provide copies
to Census for statistical purposes. CBP proposes to add the new
7501A Document/Payment Transmittal form.
US Code:
19
USC 804a Name of Law: Tariff Act of 1930, as amended by the
Softwood Lumber Act of 2008
US Code: 19 USC 804a Name of Law: Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended by the Softwood Lumber Act of 2008
There are no changes to the
information collected on CBP Form 7501. However, the number of
respondents and responses were revised based on a data query that
CBP ran. Also, the estimated time per response for informal entries
was raised from 5 minutes to 15 minutes. The burden hours were
adjusted to account for the revisions to these two estimates. The
$4,200,525 in costs associated with the Softwood Lumber entries was
deleted because it was added erroneously in the previous ICR
submission. This cost figure is not associated with this ICR and is
a result of clerical error during ROCIS input. CBP proposes to add
the new 7501A, Document/Payment Transmittal form. 300 burden hours
were increased to reflect this new form.
