Pursuant to section 111.96 of title 19

CFR 111.96(c)), U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) assesses an

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).
Sections 24.22 and 24.23 of title 19 of
the Code of Federal Regulations (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). Specifically, paragraph (k) in
section 24.22 (19 CFR 24.22(k)) 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 August 2, 2019, CBP published
a Federal Register notice, CBP Dec. 19–
08, which among other things,
announced that the annual broker
permit user fee would increase to
$147.89 for calendar year 2020. See 84
FR 37902.
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
2020, the due date for payment of the
user fee is January 31, 2020.
Dated: November 22, 2019.

Overview of This Information
Collection
Title: Declaration of Owner and
Declaration of Consignee When Entry is
made by an Agent.
OMB Number: 1651–0093.
Form Number: CBP Forms 3347 and
3347A.
Abstract: CBP Form 3347, Declaration
of Owner, is a declaration from the
owner of imported merchandise stating
that he/she agrees to pay additional or
increased duties, therefore releasing the
importer of record from paying such
duties. This form must be filed within
90 days from the date of entry. CBP
Form 3347 is provided for by 19 CFR

name by an agent who does not meet the
qualifications in 19 CFR 141.19(b)(2),
meaning that the agent does not have
knowledge of the facts and/or is not
authorized under a proper power of
attorney by that consignee, a declaration
from the consignee on CBP Form 3347A,
Declaration of Consignee When Entry is
Made by an Agent, may be filed with the
entry documentation or the entry
summary. If the declaration is filed on
CBP Form 3347A, then no bond to
produce a declaration of the consignee
is required. If the declaration is not filed
at entry or entry summary, bond must
be given to produce such declaration,
and the declaration must be presented
within six months after the date that the
bond was given. CBP Form 3347A is
provided for by 19 CFR 141.19(b)(2).
