It also prohibits U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) from requiring sea ports of entry to provide or maintain certain facilities for CBP inspection services.</p><p>Specifically, the bill authorizes the Department of the Treasury to adjust the ad valorem rate for merchandise processing and the related limits on the amount of the fees to offset&nbsp;CBP's capital costs&nbsp;for&nbsp;processing entries and releases of merchandise. (Currently, Treasury may only adjust the rate and limits&nbsp;to offset CBP's related salaries and expenses.) The bill also requires Treasury to use certain customs user fees to reimburse CBP for paying capital costs associated with passenger inspection services.</p><p>Additionally, the bill (1) prohibits CBP from requesting or requiring a sea port of entry to provide or maintain administrative, training, or recreational facilities at the port for purposes of facilitating CBP's inspection services; and (2) requires CBP to submit an annual report to appropriate congressional committees on the amount and use of proceeds from merchandise processing fees.</p>","updateDate":"2026-07-18T00:01:34Z"},"markets":[],"stateBills":[],"meta":{"sources":["congress.gov"],"latencyMs":269,"ts":"2026-08-28T08:39:20.138Z"},"nextActions":{"inspect":[],"related":[{"description":"Search related legislation","method":"GET","url":"https://simplefunctions.dev/api/public/query-gov?q=CBP%20SPACE%20Act"}]}}
