CBP is extending the deadline for the requirement to use the June 2009 version of the CBP Form 7501. The new effective date is April 1, 2010. As of April 1, 2010, the only official form that CBP will support is the CBP Form 7501 dated June 2009. CBP is transitioning to this form, based on an Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requirement. OMB requires that CBP review public use forms every three years, and the expiration date of the form changes after the review.
The June 2009 CBP Form 7501 version is available online at the following link: http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/forms/. This link includes the CBP Form 7501 and the continuation sheets, as well as the CBP 7501 instructions (posted 8/31/05), which apply to the new 7501 form. Although the CBP Form 7501 is not required for ACE entry summary transmissions, this form may be used as a cover sheet in lieu of the CBP Document/Payment Transmittal form during the test phase. CBP will continue to use the CBP Form 7501 for entry summaries filed in ACS.
Beginning April 1, 2010, entry summaries filed with a form other than the June 2009 CBP Form 7501version will be rejected.
