2. Quarterly Interest Rates for Additional Duties on Reconciliations
CBP has posted to its Web site a list of quarterly interest rates for additional duty payments from 2002 through the second quarter of calendar year 2008. CBP notes that when a reconciliation results in additional monies owed CBP, the payment must be made with interest. According to CBP, refund interest is calculated by CBP, but interest on additional payments is calculated by the reconciliation filer, using the rates provided in CBP's list. (CBP's list of interest rates, dated 04/08/08, available at http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/trade/trade_programs/cargo_summary/reconciliation/technical_information/interest_rates.xml.)
