CBP to Increase User Fees for Fiscal Year 2026

On July 23, 2025, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) published a Federal Register Notice (FRN) announcing revisions to certain customs user fees and corresponding limitations established under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) for Fiscal Year 2026.

The MPF is a fee imposed by CBP for the majority of imported goods to the United States. This fee is collected to help process merchandise and monitor Customs trade compliance. It’s based on the value of the shipment, assessed on the CBP Form 7501 — commonly known as the Entry Summary — along with applicable duties and taxes.  

Effective October 1, 2025:  

• The Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) ad valorem rate of 0.3464% will NOT change.

• The MPF for formal entries with a merchandise value of $2,500 or more will change.

  • Minimum MPF will be $33.58 (formerly $32.71) 

  • Maximum MPF will be $651.50 (formerly $634.62) 

• The MPF for informal entries with a merchandise value less than $2,500 will change.

  • A flat fee of $2.69 applies per entry (formerly $2.62)
