Customs entry

Customs entry software that starts from your accepted ISF

File entry summaries (7501) and cargo release (3461) with CBP. The entry opens with the ISF's parties and bond already filled in, gets checked before it goes, and stays on a clock until it liquidates.

Bring your last rejection and we'll walk through it.

What you file

Entry summary (7501) and cargo release (3461)

  • Entry summary, CBP Form 7501

    Lines, HTS codes, values, duties and fees, under your importer of record number and bond.

  • Cargo release, CBP Form 3461

    Ask CBP to release the goods, then file the summary.

In-bond (7512) isn't available yet. FTZ, drawback and AES aren't part of MyCargoLens.

Less retyping

Start the entry from the ISF, not from a blank form

The ISF already holds the parties, the importer of record number and the bond. Create the entry from the accepted ISF and those carry over. You add what the entry needs on top: lines, values and the entry type.

The ISF and the entry stay linked, so anyone opening one can see the other and its full history.

Before CBP sees it

Checked before you send, explained if CBP says no

Every entry draft passes rule checks before it can be sent, and you can ask for an AI review of the draft as well. If CBP rejects it, you get the error in plain English with numbered steps to fix it.

While you build the entry, MyCargoLens flags HTS codes that may fall under an ADD/CVD order, lines with possible UFLPA exposure, and the agencies (FDA, USDA-APHIS, EPA, FCC) that may want their own data for a code.

We flag and explain. You or your broker decide.

HTS and duty

Suggestions for the HTS code, and the duty before you file

Describe the goods and get a suggested HTS code with alternatives and the reasoning behind each. Your team or broker picks the code. The duty calculator shows the rate, MPF, HMF and total for a line from HTS reference data.

Suggestions, not rulings. We don't publish an accuracy figure.

HTS suggestions are on every plan. The duty calculator is available with customs entry; ask us in the demo.

After entry

Every entry stays on a clock until it liquidates

CBP usually liquidates an entry about 314 days after entry. Until then you can fix it with a post-summary correction, inside CBP's regular 300-day window from the date of entry. MyCargoLens tracks each accepted entry through that window and puts the PSC deadline in the inbox before it closes. After liquidation, the 180-day protest window gets its own date.

Questions about filing entries

The 3461 asks CBP to release the cargo. The 7501 entry summary declares the classification, value and duties. MyCargoLens files both.
