Post Summary Correction (PSC)

Guide

Post Summary Correction (PSC) allows brokers or importers to correct an entry summary after it has been filed, accepted, and duties and taxes have been paid. This correction can be done electronically within 300 days of the entry summary's acceptance, as long as the entry has not yet been liquidated.

Steps to File a PSC

1. Accessing the PSC Option

  • Once an entry summary is accepted and paid, the entry is released within the platform.

  • You will see a "PSC" button appear next to the relevant entry summary, indicating that you have the option to file a Post Summary Correction.

2. Initiating the PSC

  • Click on the "PSC" button to start the correction process. 

  • An alert will inform you to run an entry summary query before you begin and that this will be a replacement of the entry summary

 
Clicking the green link will take the user to the official PSC page at CBP if they need to know more. 
After running the query click the “Proceed to PSC” button to continue. 
 
 

3. Making Corrections

  • Identify the areas of the entry summary that need correction, such as mode of transportation, class code, surety, etc.

  • Enter the necessary changes directly into the corresponding fields.

4. Providing a PSC Explanation

  • For each correction, you must provide a detailed explanation. For example: "Due to an error by the broker, correction is needed."
  • Include all relevant details to ensure that the correction is clear and justified.

5. Accelerated Liquidation Decision

  • Decide whether or not to request accelerated liquidation for the entry. Select "Yes" or "No" based on your decision.

6. Confirming the PSC

  • After making all necessary corrections, confirm that the PSC accurately reflects the changes you intend to make.
  • Acknowledge that you are filing the PSC by checking the appropriate confirmation box.

7. Reviewing the PSC

  • Before final submission, perform a review of the PSC.
  • If any issues, such as an incorrect bill of lading number, are found, make the necessary adjustments and re-review the PSC.

8. Finalizing the PSC

  • Once all corrections are made and reviewed, you'll see a new PSC banner at the top of the entry summary indicating that it’s ready to be filed.
  • If desired, you can download the updated entry summary to review it before filing.
  • Click "Accept" and then "File PSC" to submit the correction to customs.

9. Post-Submission Actions

  • In a production environment, the PSC will be sent to customs for processing. In staging environments, it will be marked as accepted upon submission.
  • After filing, a new folder with the updated PSC entry summary will be created alongside the original entry summary.
  • You can compare the original and the corrected summaries side by side to verify the changes.
