Entry Types

Entry Type 01 (Consumption Entry) is for goods staying in the U.S. permanently. Entry Type 03 (Warehouse Entry) is for goods stored in a customs-bonded warehouse. Entry Type 11 (Informal Entry) is for low-value goods under $2,500.

Entry Type 86 (Section 321) is for low-value e-commerce shipments under $800. Entry Type 07 (Antidumping/Countervailing Duty) is for goods subject to additional duties due to trade protection measures.

There are over 30 entry types in total, including Type 02 (Quota/Visa), Type 04 (Appraisement), Type 05 (Vessel Repair), Type 06 (FTZ Admission), Type 09 (Reconciliation Entry), and Type 10 (Carnet) for temporary imports.

Warehouse-related types include Type 21 (Withdrawal for Consumption), Type 22 (Withdrawal for Transportation), and Type 34 (Withdrawal for Immediate Exportation). FTZ types include Type 31, 32, and 61.

Government types include Type 41 (U.S. Government Dutiable), Type 42 (Duty-Free), and Type 43 (Department of Defense Duty-Free). Type 99 is for specialized government agency imports.

Entry types are independent from trade law sections. However, they work together to determine how goods are processed, taxed, and regulated when entering the U.S.

Entry types decide the processing pathway for goods, while trade law sections apply the rules and tariffs. For example, if a product is subject to Section 301 tariffs, it would still need to be assigned an entry type to guide its physical processing at the border.
