Simplify compliance with U.S. customs reconciliation
Compliance done right
Just because you don’t have all the transaction details required by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) doesn’t mean you have to be non-compliant. With U.S. customs reconciliation, you can voluntarily file customs declarations based on the best available information at the time of import, and later update them with final details.
Our experienced team is here to manage every step of the reconciliation process, helping you stay compliant.

How U.S. customs reconciliation works
- Entries are flagged: The reconciliation flag is added at the time of entry to notify CBP the importer may be making an update.
- Importers use reasonable care: Filing entry summaries and estimates must still be as accurate as possible.
- Order clears customs: The shipment with the flagged entry clears through CBP and goods are transported to their destination.
- Reconciliation filed: Within 12 months for application of specific trade agreements (FTA) and 21 months for others (Value, Classification, 9802), the importer files a reconciliation entry to adjust flagged items.
- Payment and liquidation: Additional duties, taxes, fees, and interest are paid (or refunds claimed) upon reconciliation filing.
