CBP plans to deploy the second phase of the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) on May 16, the agency said (here). "This deployment will restructure the security profile function into individual line items," it said. "To prevent potential applicants from having to conduct redundant work by completing the security profile twice, once in the current format and a second time immediately after May 16th in the new format, C-TPAT will not be accepting new applications after April 15, 2015, until Phase II deploys." As part of the second phase, "it will also be possible to merge multiple C-TPAT accounts into a single Security Model, if accounts are managed under the same trade account and follow the same security policies and procedures," said CBP in its C-TPAT 2.0 user manual (see 1411180013).
CBP published the quarterly Internal Revenue Service interest rates used to calculate interest on overdue accounts (underpayments) and refunds (overpayments) of customs duties (here). For the quarter which began April 1 and ends June 30, the interest rates for overpayments will be 2 percent for corporations and 3 percent for non-corporations, and the rate of underpayments will be 3 percent for corporations and non-corporations. These interest rates are subject to change for the calendar quarter beginning July 1 and ending Sept. 30, said CBP.
