Title: Entry Summary.
OMB Number: 1651-0022.
Form Number: 7501, 7501A.
Abstract: CBP Form 7501, Entry Summary, is used to identify
merchandise entering the commerce of the United States, and to document
the amount of duty and/or tax paid. CBP Form 7501 is submitted by the
importer, or the importer's agent, for each import transaction. The
data on this form is used by CBP as a record of the import transaction;
to collect the proper duty, taxes, certifications and enforcement
information; and to provide data to the U.S. Census Bureau for
statistical purposes. CBP Form 7501 must be filed within 10 working
days from the time of entry of merchandise into the United States.
CBP Form 7501A, Document/Payment Transmittal, is used to reconcile
a supplemental payment after an initial Automated Clearinghouse payment
with the associated entry so the respondent's account is properly
credited.
Collection of the data on these forms is authorized by 19 U.S.C.
1484 and provided for by 19 CFR 142.11 and CFR 141.61. CBP Form 7501
