Show full summary
- Importers and shoppers: Low-value shipments (up to $600) could clear under a single fee instead of normal duties. Fee options include 20% ad valorem or the equivalent tariff rate based on country of origin.
- Express carriers and operators: Qualified carriers that meet a "closely integrated administrative control" test could satisfy formal entry requirements electronically, assume CBP liability, and must hold narcotics information and enforcement agreements.
- Customs and federal revenue: Fees collected for these entries must be remitted quarterly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection and deposited in the Treasury general fund. The pathway excludes shipments subject to antidumping or countervailing duties, tariff-rate quotas, certain excise taxes, and other non‑waived federal agency fees.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Higher import fee for small parcels
If enacted, carriers would have to collect a new fee when goods entered for consumption or were withdrawn from a warehouse under the Secure Revenue Clearance Channel. The importer of record would pick one fee option for each shipment: 20% of the item's value, the tariff rate the item would face under a formal entry, or another country-based duty rate (including postal rates). Carriers would remit all collected fees to Customs every quarter and the money would go to the Treasury general fund. The fee would replace certain existing Customs charges and most other duties on the same item. These rules would start 30 days after enactment and follow regulations from Customs.
Faster clearance for small packages
If enacted, the bill would create a Secure Revenue Clearance Channel allowing eligible express carriers to clear shipments worth $600 or less using an approved electronic advanced manifest instead of normal formal entry. Customs would have to approve the electronic format and manifest. The pathway would not apply to shipments subject to antidumping or countervailing duties, tariff-rate quotas, alcohol or tobacco taxes collected by other agencies, or other agency fees unless those agencies waive the fee. Only carriers that meet strict rules (close administrative control over pick-up and delivery, assume CBP liability, run hubs and express facilities, and have narcotics agreements with CBP and ICE) could use the channel. The change would be added to customs entry rules and would take effect 30 days after enactment.
