SUBJECT: EXTENDED SNOW DAY POLICY
THE U.S. CUSTOMS SERVICE EXTENDS ITS SYMPATHY AND CONDOLENCES TO ALL
FILERS WHO WERE IMPACTED BY THE TRAGIC EVENTS OF SEPTEMBER 11. CUSTOMS
HAS DETERMINED THAT THE GREAT MAJORITY OF FILERS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
CONTINUE MAKING BOTH ACH AND MANUAL PAYMENTS WITH LITTLE OR NO
DISRUPTION. CUSTOMS UNDERSTANDS, HOWEVER, THAT THERE IS A SMALL NUMBER
OF FILERS WITH UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT HAVE IMPACTED THEIR ABILITY
TO MAKE PAYMENT OR FILE ENTRIES ELECTRONICALLY OR PHYSICALLY. FOR
THOSE FILERS, THE CUSTOMS SERVICE IS DECLARING A SNOW DAY POLICY
THAT WILL COVER THE PERIOD FROM SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 THROUGH
OCTOBER 2, 2001. ACH FILERS WHO FEEL THAT THEIR CIRCUMSTANCES WARRANT
COVERAGE UNDER THIS EXTENDED SNOW DAY POLICY SHOULD IMMEDIATELY CONTACT
THEIR ASSIGNED CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE. NON-ACH PAYMENTS SHOULD CONTINUE
TO BE PRESENTED LOCALLY AND SNOW DAY DETERMINATIONS WILL BE MADE AT
EACH PORT.
