President Barack Obama recently signed an Executive Order that designated Dec. 26 as a federal holiday this year (here). As a result, CBP will consider Dec. 26 as a holiday, as it does Dec. 25, the agency said in a CSMS message (here). "Any entries previously transmitted with a payment due date of 12/26/14 will appear on a statement on 12/29/14," the agency said. "That means two separate statements may be generated on 12/29/14. Filers who wish to change the payment print date from December 26 to December 29 for previously transmitted summaries may do so at their discretion."
