If you are Importer of Record, payment to broker will not relieve you of liability for customs charges (duties, taxes or other debts owed CBP) in the event the charges are not paid by broker. Therefore, if
you pay by check, customs charges may be paid with a separate check payable to the “U.S. Customs and Border Protection”, which will be delivered to CBP by broker. Importers of Record who wish to utilize this procedure must contact our office in advance to arrange timely receipt of duty checks.
