Customs Liquidation is the final step of an entry. It is the last determination from Customs as to the correctness of classification and duty of the entry. Once Customs issues a “Notice of Liquidation” posted on the bulletin board in the Customhouse at the port of entry where the product entered, Customs will have no more interest on the product. Entries are liquidated within 1 year after the goods enter. Port director may extend the 1 year three times for reasons acceptable by Customs.
