The MPF rate reverts to .21% from December 1, 2015, to September 30, 2016. The law temporarily decreases the merchandise processing fee from .21% to .174% from October 1, 2016, to September 30, 2019. The MPF rate reverts to .21% after September 30, 2019. The cap of $485 per entry remains unchanged. For purposes of this analysis, the MPF rate of .21% was maintained as the long-term average. Actual short-term savings will be greater than represented for shipments that fall under the cap.
