| Current | Effective Oct 1 | |
| Minimum Merchandise Processing Fee | $29.66 | $31.67 |
| Maximum Merchandise Processing Fee | $575.35 | $614.35 |
| Informal Entry or Release | $2.37 | $2.53 |
As mentioned, these fee increases are effective beginning October 1, 2023 and should be adjusted moving forward.
