„Consumption Entry“

(USA) A “consumption entry” is the filing with Customs in proper form of an “entry summary for consumption” on imported goods , and payment of estimated duties, taxes, and fees, if any, resulting in the release of the goods by Customs. When the release is unconditional, the importer may dispose of the goods.
