Secure Revenue Clearance Channel Act of 2026

HR 7224 creates a simplified customs entry process for express carriers shipping low-value merchandise (under $600) by allowing electronic manifest submissions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) instead of full documentation. It directly affects eligible express carriers (like major package delivery companies) operating under "closely integrated administrative control," requiring CBP approval of their electronic systems. The bill mandates a fee (20% of value, the applicable tariff rate, or other fixed duty) collected by carriers, which replaces specific fees and duties like those under 19 U.S.C. 58c(a) and most-favored nation tariffs. Exceptions apply for items like alcohol, tobacco, or merchandise subject to antidumping duties or tariff-rate quotas.
