CBP Administrative Messages, Electronic Bulletin Board Notices, Etc
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued an administrative message announcing that certain Automated Clearinghouse (ACH) refunds with liquidation dates of 10/01/04 and 10/15/04 were erroneously overpaid interest. This problem was the result of an error in the CBP administrative accounting system, which has been resolved. According to CBP, the CBP National Finance Center will be issuing bills for any erroneous overpayments to the recipients of those refunds. CBP adds that ACH refunds with liquidation dates of 10/08/04 and 10/22/04 reflect the correct amounts.
