Deringer Assesses a
Special Tariff Handling Fee

A “special tariff handling fee” is assessed to facilitate the entry of goods subject to Section 201, 232, or 301 tariffs when an importer does not pay their duty directly to Customs via the Automated Clearing House (i.e., ACH debit, ACH credit, or Periodic Monthly Statement). This fee helps offset the additional risk and cost associated with advancing funds on behalf of our customers, as well as the additional tracking, monitoring, and reporting required of these tariff payments.
