Section 321 Entry Types
Section 321 is a designated entry type for individual consignments valued under $800. The different types of section 321 include:
- Express consignment / ECCF: Goods imported using an ECCF are granted express clearance privileges and are subject to regulations outlined in Part 128 of the Code of Federal Regulations / CFR. Goods imported via express processes are subject to a per consignment fee mandated by customs to reimburse the cost for express processes.
- Cargo Clearance / CFS: Goods can be imported using express processes but without the per consignment fee (mentioned above). Goods are transferred to an approved Container Freight Station (CFS) and are usually cleared within 1 to 3 days of arrival.
- Type 86 Entry: For traditional brokerage processes that use automated connections to customs (ACE), section 321 type 86 can be used. The key difference is that HS codes are required for each item. An HS Code is not required for ECCF or CFS section 321 mentioned above.
- Canada/ USA Cross Border Clearance: This method is increasingly being used to take advantage of airlift to Canada and trucking cross border directly (usually) to a USPS facility.
