In post-entry corrections, which supports are typically required?

• A. No documentation is required for corrections.
• B. Corrections are made by adjusting the original entry automatically.
• C. Supporting documentation reflecting corrected classification, valuation, quantity, or duties.
• D. Corrections must be requested from the importer's bank.

Answer: (C)

When you amend an entry after it’s been filed, you must provide documentary support for the change. The reason is to keep an accurate, auditable record and to verify the corrected information—whether it’s how the goods are classified, their value, the quantity declared, or the duties due. The supporting documents show exactly what was changed and why, such as a revised invoice, updated packing list, or other paperwork that substantiates the correction. Corrections aren’t automatic; they require a formal post-entry amendment or similar process and the proper documentation. Banks aren’t involved in making these customs corrections.
