In the execution of this document, it is expressly understood that payment to the grantee, if a broker, does not relieve the Grantor of liability for Customs charges (duties, taxes, or other debts owed Customs) in the event the charges are not paid by the broker. Therefore, if payment is by check, Customs charges may be paid with a separate check payable to "U.S. Customs & Border Protection" which shall be delivered to Customs by the broker. Pursuant to 19 C.F.R. 111.36(c)(2)(i), Grantor waives the requirement for JFS CHB Inc. to transmit directly to the importer a true copy of the brokerage charges if the fees and charges are to be collected by or through a forwarder.

V. 3 Dec 2024 · rendered from template 2026-08-09.1. Four typographical errors in the printed form are corrected in this rendering — “any and all bonds”, “separate check”, “filing” and “through a forwarder”. The wording is otherwise the form's own, and the PDF remains the governing document.
