What is a Type 11 Entry?

A type 11 entry is an informal entry that doesn't require a bond under certain conditions. These conditions include:

• Personal effects of a service member returning from duty abroad
• Merchandise valued under $2,500 with a waiver from the port director

Type 11 entries are typically used for small shipments of goods that are not subject to duty or other taxes. They are also used for shipments of personal effects that are not intended for commercial use.

To make a type 11 entry, you will need to provide the following information:

• A description of the goods
• The value of the goods
• The country of origin of the goods
• The port of entry

You may also be required to provide a waiver from the port director if the value of the goods exceeds $2,500.

Once you have provided all of the required information, you can file your type 11 entry with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). CBP will review your entry and determine whether or not to release the goods.

If your entry is approved, you will be able to pick up your goods at the port of entry. You may be required to pay duty or other taxes on the goods before you can take them home.

Type 11 entries are a quick and easy way to clear small shipments of goods through customs. They are ideal for personal effects and other non-commercial shipments.
