Q: What does INFORMAL ENTRY OF CERTAIN SHIPMENTS OF MERCHANDISE. of HR 7224 do?

This section establishes the 'Secure Revenue Clearance Channel' allowing express consignment carriers or operators to expedite the entry of merchandise valued at $600 or less. To utilize this channel, carriers must submit an advanced manifest electronically to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), which must then approve both the format and the manifest. Shipments subject to antidumping duties, tariff-rate quotas, certain taxes collected by other federal agencies, or fees not waived by those agencies are excluded from this expedited entry process. The section defines 'express consignment operator or carrier' as an entity providing special express commercial service with 'closely integrated administrative control,' assuming liability for merchandise, and implementing narcotics information and enforcement agreements. The term 'closely integrated administrative control' refers to operations with significant integration and control over shipment information. Section 498(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930 is amended to include merchandise qualifying for entry under the Secure Revenue Clearance Channel Act of 2025.
