B. When the importer promptly and voluntarily corrects the claim, pays the duties and any merchandise processing fee due, and submits the required statement
Section 182.13 excuses the importer from civil or administrative penalties under 19 U.S.C. 1592 for an incorrect claim or certification if the importer promptly and voluntarily corrects it, pays duties and any merchandise processing fee due, and submits a statement to the office where the claim was filed.
