IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Grantor has caused these presents to be signed by:

In accordance with 19 CFR 111.29, the following paragraph explains your rights regarding method of payment of Customs charges: If you are the importer of record, payment to the broker will not relieve you of liability for Customs charges (duties, taxes, or other debts owed Customs) in the event the charges are not paid by the broker. Therefore, if you pay by check, Customs charges may be paid with a separate check payable to the “U.S. Customs Service” which shall be delivered to Customs by the broker. Payments are due and payable to Customs not later than the 10th day following entry. If you elect to make payment with a check made payable to the U.S. Customs Service, Grantee must be notified in advance to arrange timely receipt of duty checks.
