The portal can be used to file an administrative petition seeking relief if an importer has received:
- a Notice of Penalty or Liquidated Damages Incurred and Demand for Payment or
- a Notice of Seizure
from CBP and feels there were extenuating circumstances.
The portal also allows for both the creation of a petition or looking up existing petitions.
“Your petition should explain why you should be granted mitigation from or cancellation of the claim and/or why the property should be returned,” CBP said.
