IMEXNet: How to request and pay a CBP Statement

To access the CBP Statements window you first have first select the US Customs Clearance module on the left side bar and under that module select the CBP Statements option on the same side bar. This will then display a grid view of all of the CBP Statements currently in system. Select on the statement in order and press on the Statement Report button located on menu strip at the top of the window.

The preview window will then open displaying the CBP Statement Report containing all the Entries in that Statement. By pressing the Export To… button you are able to save the report in the desire format, you may also press the E-Mail as… button to send the report to an e-mail in the desired format. Closing this window will return you to the previous CBP Statements grid shown in the image above. Going back to the first window we will then select our desired CBP Statement to transmit and press the Transmit button located on the menu strip at the top of the window.

The ACH Payment Authorization Transmission window will then open set on its default tab being ACH Payment Authorization. The information within this tab should already be filled since the information is taken directly from the database, at this point you may validate the information entered in this area. If all the information is correct or all the changes have been made you press the Transmit button in order to transmit the payment. To request a statement that is not in the CBP Statement grid you can press the Statement Request/Reroute tab in order to get the option to do so.

In the Statement Request/Reroute tab you may input information to request the statements that you are looking for. An important thing to keep in mind is that the very bare minimum to requesting a Report is selecting the Statement Transmission Date, though if you only select the date you will get all statements for that day. If you are interested in requesting a particular statement make sure to fill in the rest of the boxes. Furthermore, the checkboxes determine the type of statement you are asking for. Once you finished filling in the categories for the statements you wish to request press the Transmit button in order to transmit that request.

When you transmit the ACH Payment Authorization in order to check if it went through go to the Transmission Log and a window as shown below will open up displaying all the transmissions. We will select the payment transmission we just made and in the text box below information of that transmission will be displayed, showing if the payment was accepted and the date it was accepted in.
