Document background
The Custom Clearance Invoice is a crucial document in U.S. international trade operations, required whenever goods are imported into the United States. This document itemizes all costs associated with clearing goods through customs, including duties, taxes, and service fees. It serves as both a payment record and a compliance document, helping importers maintain accurate financial records and demonstrate adherence to customs regulations. The document must comply with CBP requirements and typically accompanies other import documentation such as the Entry Summary (Form 7501) and commercial invoice.
