U.S. Customs and Border Protection will be increasing, the Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) which applies to imported goods starting October 1st.

The Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) ad valorem rate of 0.3464% will NOT change. The MPF minimum and maximum for formal entries will change. The minimum will change from $27.23 to $27.75; and the maximum will change from $528.33 to $538.40.

Some other fees are also changing. See CSMS #48938836

Note that, generally, goods that originate in Canada and qualify for duty-free entry (0% tariff) under CUSMA/USMCA are exempt from MPF. The CUSMA/USMCA preference must be claimed to receive the MPF exemption.
