A shipment of beauty products made in Quebec, Canada departs from the manufacturer’s warehouse on February 12, 2026, by truck (non-container) and enters the United States via the Port of Buffalo, New York on the same day. The merchandise is to be entered for consumption.
Which ONE of the following blocks of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Form 7501 (Entry Summary) provided contains incorrect information?
- Block 6
- Block 8
- Block 9
- Block 10
Show the answer and walk-through
CBP's answer: A. A: Block 6
Block 6 asks for the U.S. port code in the DDPP format from Schedule D of Annex C. The goods enter at the Port of Buffalo, and Schedule D lists Buffalo-Niagara Falls as 0901, not 0900, so Block 6 is wrong and A is right. Block 9 (30, truck) and Block 10 (XQ, the code the instructions give for Quebec) are acceptable, and Block 8 asks for a carrier name only for vessel and air arrivals.
Record the U.S. port code utilizing the Schedule D, CBP District and Port Codes, listed in Annex ACE Entry Summary Instructions
