U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) released a general notice earlier this year announcing that it was adjusting the Customs Inspection User Fee (“CUF”) for inflation. The CUF rate is now $7.20 per passenger and this change went into effective on October 1, 2024. Given that CUFs are reported quarterly, carriers are reminded that the new $7.20 rate applies to tickets for which fees were collected in October, November, and December of this year. A carrier’s first quarterly report reflecting the new rate is due January 31, 2025. There were no corresponding changes to the Immigration Inspection User Fee.
