CSMS # 70134132 - New ACH Debit Option for Maritime Fee Payments effective October 15, 2026

Effective October 15, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will enable Automated Clearing House (ACH) Debit payment option on eCBP when online payment method is selected in Mobile Collections & Receipt (MCR).

Vessel Agents and Owner Operators may pay CBP maritime fees using ACH Debit, in addition to check, cash, and online credit/debit card payments.

When CBP selects “Online” as the payment option, you will receive an Online Payment Request email with a link to the eCBP Payment Portal. Follow the link to Pay.gov to submit payment by credit/debit card or ACH Debit.

To avoid payment delays, contact your bank and request that it allow the following ACH Debit information through any fraud filters:

Customer Number/Company ID: 7005009908
Transit Routing Number: 041036046

For step-by-step instructions, review the attached Vessel Agent Online Option Quick Reference Guide.
