Show the answer and walk-through
CBP's answer: C. C: It is due within 60 calendar days of export.
The BRPD describes the USMCA Duty Deferral Entry Program as a two-part process. The first part is reported within 10 days of the date of export, and the second part, the claim portion, is due within 60 calendar days of export. That is C, and it matches the 60 calendar day duty deposit period in 182.53(a)(2)(iii)(C).
The second part, due within 60 calendar days of export, is the claim portion, ACE BRPD Section 16.1
must be deposited with CBP 60 calendar days after the date of exportation of the good 19 CFR 182.53(a)(2)(iii)(C)
Search for: due within 60 calendar days of export, is the claim portion
