✍️ Sample CCS Questions & Answers

✓ Three times the duties and fees

CBP requires a bond of three times the estimated duties and fees for entries filed under immediate delivery procedures.

2. An importer discovers a clerical error on a previously filed entry that resulted in underpayment of duties. What is the correct course of action?
✓ Submit a post-entry amendment (PEA) or prior disclosure to CBP

An importer should self-correct through a post-entry amendment or prior disclosure to voluntarily address errors before CBP detection, reducing penalty exposure.

A surety must provide CBP with at least 30 days' advance written notice before terminating a continuous customs bond.

5. What is the significance of 'same class or kind' in the computed value method?
✓ Profit and general expenses are based on data from producers of goods in the same class or kind
