CBP Cargo & Parcel Tracking Portal

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is leveraging the U.S. Treasury’s Pay.gov service to modernize payment processing and provide the public with an online bill payment option.

CBP Cargo & Parcel Tracking Portal

Verify the customs status and outstanding billing information for incoming shipments.

Beginning March 2026, most bills generated by CBP will include a QR code, as well as step-by-step instructions, directing the public to the appropriate Pay.gov form (see below for a copy of those instructions). Once at the Pay.gov form, the public will complete the required payor identification and bill/payment fields, authorizing CBP to pull the funds via ACH Debit from the payor’s U.S. Bank Account and pay the related bill(s), providing expedited clearance of the outstanding bill* and avoiding the accrual of any additional interest.

Option 2: Direct pay.gov Search

  1. Add ACH ID 7005009613 to your Bank Account as an Authorized Payee
  2. Go directly to Pay.gov
  3. Click "See All Forms" (located in the page header)
  4. Select "View By: Form Name"

  6. Optional: "Sign In" to Your Pay.gov Account
  7. Click "Continue to Form"
  8. Complete Required Fields + Submit Payment

Benefits of Online Bill Payment:

  • Collection date credited per the Pay.gov confirmation "Payment Date," avoiding the accrual of any additional interest on an outstanding bill*
  • Instant electronic receipt and payment confirmation log history.
  • Eliminates mail delay transit times, avoiding overdue interest charges.
* Notice on Expedited Clearance: To ensure expedited clearance of the debt, the bill number and amount paid must match the records in CBP’s billing system. If they do not, CBP personnel must research the payment and manually apply it, which will delay clearance. In this scenario, you will still be credited for the payment based on the Pay.gov "Payment Date," but it will delay notice of the bill being paid-in-full. Therefore, you must verify the bill number and amount due when entering information onto the Pay.gov form.

For additional assistance, please contact the Billing Help Desk at 317-614-4811 or email billinginquiry@cbp.dhs.gov.

PMS Participants: Per this FRN (90 FR 48314) announced via CSMS Message #66599946, if you are paying a supplemental duty bill (SDB) for an entry originally paid on a Periodic Monthly Statement (PMS), you MUST pay electronically, either via the above ACH Debit method through Pay.gov or via an ACH Credit payment. You may NOT pay via the below additional payment options. To pay via ACH Debit on Pay.gov, follow the instructions above. Questions pertaining to ACH Credit payments can be directed to ACH-CUSTOMS@cbp.dhs.gov.

Additional Payment Options

CBP will continue to utilize a lockbox facility at the U.S. Bank in St. Louis, Missouri to receive, process, and post most bill payment types. Please review the following and ensure payment is sent to the correct address (below):

  • Interest is assessed on bills based on the date CBP receives payment.
  • Note the "Amount Due After" date printed on your bill to account for interest that could accrue while your payment is in transit.
  • Allow a minimum of 7-10 days for payments sent by U.S. Postal Service (USPS) regular mail.
  • Allow a minimum of 2-3 days for payments sent by USPS overnight express mail.
  • If additional interest is assessed and your submitted payment did not satisfy the debt in full, a new balance will be due and billed.
  • Include the bill number(s) and amount(s), itemized by bill if appropriate, to be paid with your payment. This information may be included on the check or you may include a separate remittance slip with the payment. Missing details will delay application.
