If you are the importer of record, payment to the broker will not relieve you of liability for U.S. 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 the “U.S. Customs Service” ,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.
