COBRA and APHIS User Fee Changes Effective October 1, 2026
CBP has announced changes to COBRA and APHIS user fees effective October 1, 2026, marking the start of the new fiscal year fee schedule. Importers should expect updated fee assessments on applicable entry summaries filed on or after that date.
We are reviewing all active entry summary workflows to confirm the new FY27 COBRA and APHIS user fee amounts are correctly reflected in our filing systems, as an incorrect fee assessment can result in liquidation discrepancies or CBP bills.
