CBP Form 7523. Entry and Manifest of Merchandise Free of Duty, Carriers Certificate and Release

Form 7523 – Entry and Manifest of Merchandise Free of Duty, Carriers Certificate and Release is a form that is used to declare the importation of goods into the United States. It is a document that is issued by a carrier who is certifying that the merchandise does not need to be subjected to Customs duties and any other taxes on arrival.

The form consists of four sections: Section A, which is the basic information of the importer and exporter, including name, address, tax identification number and company information; section B contains the information related to the shipment, such as amount, estimated value, and estimated date of arrival; section C obtains information related to the waybill, including shipment and weight details; while section D contains the special instructions or requests.

The most important fields are those regarding the type of merchandise, its quantity, value, and estimated date of arrival, as these should be accurate and not subject to change. The form should be filled out when the carrier is declaring that the goods they are carrying do not need to be subjected to customs duties and taxes. It is important to make sure that all of the relevant information is included, accurate and up to date.

Form 7523 is similar to other forms used to declare the import of goods, such as Form 3461 - Temporary Importation Bond and Form 3495A - Declaration for Free Entry of Unaccompanied Articles. The main difference between these forms is that Form 7523 is for goods that are to be admitted free of duties and taxes, while the other two forms are for goods that are subject to these fees.

When compiling Form 7523, it is important to make sure that all of the necessary information is included, accurate and up to date. Additionally, the form should be signed by the carrier who will be responsible for its accuracy and validity upon Arrival. The form should then be submitted to the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for further processing. After submission, the form is stored in the ACE shipment database, which can make it easier for those previously approved shipments to be re-entered into the system.

Form 7523 is an important document, as it is used to declare the importation of goods into the United States without paying any duties and taxes. It is important to make sure that all of the relevant information is correct and that the form is accurately completed in order to avoid any unnecessary delays or issues.
