Mobile Collections and Receipts and Application for Automation of Maritime Processing Fees.
Overview
As part of its Revenue Modernization (Rev Mod) program, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) automated its receipt process for maritime processing fees (Forms 368 Collections Receipts and 1002 Tonnage Tax Certificates). These changes enable CBP personnel to collect payment and issue eReceipts quickly and efficiently, while providing the Trade with the ability to receive and store receipts electronically.
MCR Functionality
- New 368 and 1002 electronic receipts for maritime processing fees are emailed to owners/operators and designated vessel agents.
- Owners/operators and designated vessel agents are responsible for printing the emailed receipts for presentation at ports, together with any manual receipts that may have been received.
- Officers can create draft receipts prior to boarding one or more vessels.
- Officers can prepare and issue receipts offline when connectivity is not available.
- Officers can view, access, and reassign draft receipts associated with their default port.
- New class codes are continuously evaluated for addition; Some additional class codes that have been added to MCR beyond vessel arrival fees include traveler fees such as immigration and informal duty; and Fines, Penalties and Forfeitures (FPF) fees.
- At time of inspection, owners / operators have the ability to opt for online payment; an email will be provided with a link to the eCBP Portal to pay online.
- Please send requests to RevModServiceDesk@cbp.dhs.gov.
