occurs at a port that has been designated
by the Army Corps of Engineers. The
HMF also applies to the total ticket
value of embarking and disembarking

Border Protection (CBP) assesses an
annual user fee for each customs broker
district and national permit held by an
individual, partnership, association, or
corporation. CBP regulations provide
that this fee is payable for each calendar
year in each broker district where the
broker was issued a permit to do
business by the due date. See 19 CFR
24.22(h) and (i)(9). Broker districts are
defined in the General Notice entitled,
‘‘Geographic Boundaries of Customs
Brokerage, Cartage and Lighterage
Districts,’’ published in the Federal
Register on March 15, 2000 (65 FR
14011), and corrected, with minor
changes, on March 23, 2000 (65 FR
15686) and on April 6, 2000 (65 FR
18151).
On December 4, 2015, the Fixing
America’s Surface Transportation Act
(FAST Act, Pub. L. 114–94) was signed
into law. 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 certain customs
COBRA user fees and corresponding
limitations to be adjusted by the
Secretary of the Treasury (Secretary) to
reflect certain increases in inflation.
On November 1, 2017, CBP published
a final rule, CBP Dec. 17–16 (82 FR
50523), which amended sections 24.22
and 24.23 of title 19 of the Code of
Federal Regulations (19 CFR 24.22 and
24.23) to implement the requirements of
the FAST Act. Specifically, CBP created
a new paragraph (k) in section 24.22 (19
CFR 24.22(k)) that sets forth the
methodology 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 user
fee is set forth in Appendix A of part 24.
(19 CFR 24.22 Appendix A). On
November 1, 2017, CBP also published
a Federal Register notice, CBP Dec. 17–
17, which among other things,
announced that the annual broker
permit user fee will increase to $141.70
for calendar year 2018. See 82 FR 50659.
As required by 19 CFR 111.96, 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
2018, the due date for payment of the
user fee is January 26, 2018.
Dated: November 20, 2017.
