[US Customs Reports Fault in Tariff System; Duties Temporarily Not Collected] - Cai News on April 12 reported that the US Customs and Border Protection issued an alert on April 11, informing users of a fault in their system used for exempting freight tariffs. The affected freight includes all trade goods during the 90-day tariff suspension period implemented by the Trump administration. Customs suggested that filers submit separate release forms for the goods and conduct consolidated filings after the issue is resolved. Typically, when US importers pay freight charges, they simultaneously submit both the release form and financial documents to settle payments. To ensure smooth cargo transportation, US Customs recommended that importers now submit the release forms, deferring the submission of financial documents until the problem is resolved. For now, this means that the US government has not yet collected tariffs.
