Benefits

Requirements

U.S. Customs mandates that importers maintain a continuous bond along with an active ACH Payer Unit Number (PUN) to be eligible for PMS enrollment.

The Process

Entries are compiled onto a monthly statement based on the Customs release date.

A draft version of this monthly statement is emailed by the "11th working day," following the Customs’ annually published calendar and debits are processed by Customs on the dates shown under the "15th Workday" on the published calendar.

The Payment

Customs automatically withdraws funds from the Importer's bank account on a consistent ACH debit schedule, typically set for the "15th working day."

Each transaction is clearly marked with the corresponding statement number in the description, making it easy to identify in online banking records.
