CBP Adopts Procedures for Adjusting COBRA Customs User Fees

CBP will adopt a final rule to set procedures in its regulations for adjusting Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) fees for inflation, the agency said in a notice. The final rule includes three changes to the proposed version (see 1707140037), it said. CBP extended the time frame for publishing notice specifying the amount of the fees and limitations to at least 60 days prior to the effective date, and made two changes related to how it calculates fees. The inflation adjustments and fee limitations were required by the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act, passed in 2015 (see 1512040024).
