"Any importer that has been in the practice of submitting tenders to Customs by either adding value to an entry or through some other imformal arrangement with local Customs, will no longer be possible. If they do not participate in reconciliation, the only method by which this can be done is by a "voluntary disclosure" and tender of duties. This is an admitted violation of the "false entry" statute (19 USC 1529). Because Customs wants everyone to use reconciliation, it may be assumed that in the future, voluntary tenders will be the treated as a lack of "reasonable care" by the importer and its importations will come under greater scrutiny and/or the importer will be disqualified from participating in other programs.

If your entries require any type of correction, irrespective of whether any duty is involved, you should be participating in this program".
