NOTICE TO IMPORTER
Customs Regulation 111.29(b) requires that clients receive the following  notification:
*If you are the importer or 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 U.S. Customs which shall be delivered to Customs by the broker.*  Importers who wish to utilize this procedure must contact our office in advance to arrange timely receipt of duty checks.
