Terms and Conditions

The words of which the initial letter is capitalized have meanings defined under the following conditions. The following definitions shall have the same meaning regardless of whether they appear in singular or in plural.

For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions:

These Terms and Conditions govern Your access to and use of the Service and form the agreement between You and the ASG regarding Your use of the Service.

The Service is provided as part of a government-administered digital Customs service of the American Samoa Government Treasury and Customs Division. Your access to and use of the Service is conditioned upon Your acceptance of and compliance with these Terms and Conditions. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, account holders, guest users, importers, brokers, consignees, businesses, organizations, and other persons who access or use the Service.

By accessing or using the Service, You agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If You do not agree with any part of these Terms and Conditions, You may not access or use the Service.

You represent that You are over the age of 18 and have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. The ASG does not permit persons under 18 years of age to use the Service.

Your access to and use of the Service is also conditioned on Your acceptance of and compliance with the Privacy Policy of the ASG. The Privacy Policy describes Our policies and procedures regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and handling of information in connection with the Service. Please read the Privacy Policy carefully before using the Service.

Nothing in these Terms shall be interpreted to limit, replace, or override any applicable law, regulation, Customs requirement, government authority, administrative process, or official decision-making function of the American Samoa Government Treasury and Customs Division.

The Service may be introduced, operated, expanded, or refined as part of a pilot initiative, phased rollout, digital modernization effort, or related public-service program of the American Samoa Government Treasury and Customs Division.

As part of this initiative, the Service may be used not only to support Customs filing and administrative processes, but also to support operational learning, community understanding, service improvement, workflow evaluation, localization research, and the ongoing development of digital Customs services designed for the realities of American Samoa.

This may include learning from how users interact with the Service, how declarations move through review, what kinds of filing support or guidance users need, where operational friction or confusion exists, how local workflows function in practice, and how digital tools may be improved to better reflect local laws, government procedures, inter-agency coordination, business practices, infrastructure realities, and other conditions relevant to the Territory.

You acknowledge and agree that information, communications, submissions, usage patterns, workflow activity, support requests, and related interactions connected with the Service may be used by the American Samoa Government Treasury and Customs Division, and by its Authorized Service Providers, for purposes connected with pilot administration, service evaluation, localization research, platform improvement, operational understanding, training, support, system refinement, and related government administrative purposes, subject to applicable law and policy.

Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to mean that every feature, workflow, process, or digital interaction made available through the Service is final, permanent, or fully complete. The Service may continue to evolve over time as Treasury and Customs assess operational needs, public use, legal requirements, technical performance, and opportunities for improvement.

When You create an account with Us, You must provide information that is accurate, complete, current, and authorized for use at all times. Failure to do so may constitute a breach of these Terms and may result in the rejection of submissions, suspension or termination of account access, or other restrictions on use of the Service.

An account may be used to access functions related to theofficial Customs declaration workflow, including the preparation, submission, management, tracking, and review of declarations, documents, and related filing activity made available through the Service.

You are responsible for safeguarding the username, password, verification credentials, and any other security credentials used to access the Service, and for all activities, submissions, actions, and filings that occur under Your account.

During the current phase of the Service, shared company or organizational accounts may be permitted for operational use. Where an account is used by more than one person within a business or organization, the account holder and the business or organization on whose behalf the account is used remain fully responsible for all activity conducted through that account, including all declarations, submissions, uploads, statements, and related actions.

You agree not to disclose Your password or other access credentials to any unauthorized third party. Shared use within a business or organization is permitted only where such use is internally authorized, appropriately controlled, and consistent with these Terms and applicable Customs requirements. You must notify Us immediately upon becoming aware of any unauthorized access, security breach, misuse, loss of credentials, or suspected compromise involving Your account.

If You create or use an account on behalf of a business, importer, broker, consignee, employer, or other organization, You represent and warrant that You have the legal authority and operational authorization to act on behalf of that person or entity in connection with the Customs process and use of the Service.

You may not use as a username, account identifier, business identity, or profile name the name of another person or entity, or a name, trademark, or identifier that is not lawfully available for Your use, that is intended to mislead, impersonate, or deceive, or that is otherwise offensive, vulgar, fraudulent, or inappropriate in the context of a government-administered Customs service.

We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to review, verify, restrict, suspend, deactivate, or terminate any account, or to require additional information or documentation, where we determine, in our sole discretion, that such action is necessary for identity verification, account security, legal compliance, workflow integrity, fraud prevention, authorized-use validation, or protection of the Customs process.

Termination, suspension, or restriction of an account does not relieve You of any obligation arising from declarations, submissions, payments, reviews, investigations, or other activities initiated through or associated with that account.

Our Service enables You to prepare, complete, submit, manage, and track Customs Declarations of Entry and related supporting documentation for inbound cargo shipments, mail and parcel post, and merchandise contained in passenger baggage entering American Samoa. This includes entries involving aircraft, ocean vessels, the United States Postal Service, and both accompanied and unaccompanied personal baggage.

The Service forms part of the official Customs declaration workflow of the American Samoa Government Treasury and Customs Division. Depending on the type of entry, the phase of the Service, and applicable Customs procedures, users may be able to create an account or proceed through certain filing steps as a guest, enter declaration information online, upload invoices and supporting documents, receive status updates, and complete one or more required submission steps through the Service.

Where enabled by the current Customs workflow, the Service may be used to submit declaration information and supporting documents as part of the official Customs process. Additional steps may still be required depending on the type of entry, applicable law, or current Customs procedures.

You understand and agree, however, that use of the Service does not by itself guarantee acceptance, approval, clearance, release of goods, or satisfaction of all legal or procedural requirements.Certain entries, goods, reviews, permits, inspections, payments, supporting documents, hard-copy requirements, in-person presentation requirements, or additional agency approvals may still be required depending on applicable law, regulation, policy, current Customs practice, or the nature of the goods being declared.

You are solely responsible for ensuring that all information, values, classifications, descriptions, supporting documents, exemption claims, and other materials provided through the Service are accurate, complete, current, lawfully submitted, and authorized for use. You are also responsible for completing any additional steps required by Customs or any other relevant government authority in connection with the declaration, review, inspection, release, or clearance process.

The Service may support certain classifications, calculations, workflows, exemption scenarios, and administrative processes; however, not all declaration situations, adjustments, exceptions, special approvals, or exemption types may be fully supported through the Service at all times. In such cases, You remain solely responsible for obtaining, preparing, presenting, and retaining any additional documents, approvals, explanations, calculations, or supporting materials required by Customs or any other relevant authority.

By using the Service, You represent and warrant that:

(i)You have the legal right and authority to submit, upload, process, and present the information and supporting documents associated with the declaration;

(ii)all information and materials provided by You are true, accurate, complete, and not misleading;

(iii)the preparation, submission, filing, and presentation of the declaration, together with the goods described therein, do not violate any applicable law, regulation, permit condition, trade restriction, ownership right, or Customs requirement; and

(iv)You are authorized to import, possess, control, consign, or otherwise act with proper authority in relation to the goods being declared.

By using the Service, You grant Us a non-exclusive right to receive, process, store, organize, review, and make available the information and documents You provide for purposes related to the Customs declaration process, including submission, administrative review, inter-agency coordination, legal compliance, recordkeeping, and operation of the Service.

You acknowledge and agree that information and documents submitted through the Service may be received, accessed, used, reviewed, transmitted within authorized government workflows, and retained by the American Samoa Government Treasury and Customs Division, and by other authorized government offices where required for Customs processing, inter-agency review, legal compliance, or related administrative purposes.

You retain all rights to Your submitted information and documents, subject to applicable law and the operational needs of the American Samoa Government Treasury and Customs Division.

You are responsible for all information, documents, and other materials submitted through guest access, account-based access, or any other permitted filing method made available through the Service. You agree not to submit any declaration, document, data, or other material that is false, misleading, inaccurate, unlawful, unauthorized, or intended to circumvent Customs laws, regulations, policies, reviews, duties, taxes, fees, or other official requirements.

Examples of prohibited or restricted submissions include, but are not limited to:

• Falsified or fraudulent shipment details, values, invoices, declarations, or supporting documents.
• Misrepresentation of goods classification, quantity, value, origin, destination, importer identity, consignee identity, or intended use.
• Submissions that attempt to evade duties, taxes, fees, penalties, inspections, review requirements, permit requirements, or other applicable government controls.
• Inclusion of information or material that is unlawful, defamatory, discriminatory, abusive, obscene, or otherwise inappropriate for a government-administered Customs process.
• Uploading files that contain viruses, malicious code, corrupted files, or software intended to disrupt, damage, interfere with, or gain unauthorized access to the Service or related government systems.
• Using another person’s, business’s, or entity’s trade name, trademark, proprietary information, account, credentials, or supporting documents without proper authorization.
• Submitting declarations, documents, or other materials on behalf of another individual, importer, broker, consignee, or organization without proper legal or operational authority.
• Providing data or documents that violate the confidentiality, privacy, ownership, or legal rights of another person or entity.
• Attempting to use the Service in a manner that interferes with official review, creates a false record, conceals relevant facts, or undermines the integrity of the Customs process.

We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to review, flag, reject, suspend, remove, or restrict any declaration, document, data, account, or other material that we determine, in our sole discretion, may violate these Terms, applicable law, regulatory requirements, government policy, or the integrity of the Customs process. We may also suspend, limit, or terminate access to the Service where misuse, suspected fraud, unauthorized activity, or other prohibited conduct is detected.

Where appropriate, Customs may reject, hold, suspend, or refer any submission for further administrative, compliance, enforcement, or inter-agency review if the submission appears incomplete, inaccurate, unauthorized, unlawful, suspicious, or otherwise inconsistent with applicable law, regulation, policy, or official Customs requirements.

The Service may perform routine backups, retention, archival, and recovery functions for submitted Customs Declarations, supporting documents, and related shipment data in order to support the operation, continuity, integrity, and administration of the Customs process.

While reasonable measures may be used to preserve and protect declaration data submitted through the Service, the ASG does not guarantee that any data, document, or submission will be preserved without loss, corruption, delay, inaccessibility, or system interruption.

Data integrity, retention, or recovery issues may arise from causes including, but not limited to:

• Incomplete, inaccurate, corrupted, or improperly submitted declaration data or documents prior to storage or backup;
• Modifications, synchronization issues, validation events, or other system actions occurring during processing, backup, archival, transmission, or restoration;
• Technical faults, connectivity issues, infrastructure failures, storage errors, security events, software defects, third-party service interruptions, or other causes within or outside of our reasonable control.

We may make reasonable efforts to support, investigate, troubleshoot, or restore known or reported issues relating to declaration data, supporting documents, backup status, or restoration attempts. However, the ASG does not warrant or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, availability, recoverability, or successful restoration of any data, declaration, document, attachment, or system record stored in or processed through the Service.

Nothing in this section shall be interpreted as relieving any user of the responsibility to maintain independent, accurate, and complete records of declarations, invoices, receipts, approvals, supporting documents, and other materials relevant to the importation, review, clearance, payment, or release process.

You acknowledge and agree that backup, restoration, archival, and system-recovery functions are intended to support operational continuity and administrative recordkeeping, but do not replace Your responsibility to retain copies of all materials You submit or rely upon in connection with the Customs process.

The customs duties, excise taxes, and fees applied to imported goods in American Samoa are determined by two primary factors:

1. The classification of the goods, and
2. The intended use and importer type.

These variables affect how goods are taxed, what rates apply, whether any exemptions exist, and which fees are assessed by the American Samoa Government Treasury and Customs Division.

Users of this Service are responsible for accurately classifying goods and selecting the correct importer category to ensure correct tax and fee assessment.

Customs charges, including excise tax and Treasury fees, are not fixed. They vary based on:

• What the item is (e.g., electronics, alcohol, vehicles, etc.)
• Who is importing it (e.g., a private individual, business, government agency)
• Why it’s being imported (e.g., personal use, commercial resale, government operations)

Failure to properly declare the nature and use of goods may result in reclassification, additional taxes, penalties, or delays in clearance.

All imported goods must be assigned a tariff code that reflects their correct classification according to American Samoa's annotated code. Common categories include:

• General Merchandise
• Alcohol
• Substandard Items
• Motor Vehicles
• Petroleum Products
• Soft Drinks, Juice
• Tobacco Products
• Second-Hand Items
• Firearms and Ammunition

Each item’s classification, and subclassification, will determine the applicable excise amount and tax formula.

Charges and exemptions may also depend on who is importing the goods and for what purpose. The same item may be taxed differently depending on the importer type.

The following importer categories are recognized for customs processing:

• Personal Use – Goods for private, non-commercial use. General items are normally text exempt. Standard tax apply for other classifications.
• Commercial Use – Goods intended for sale, resale, or business operations. Full rates apply unless exempted.
• American Samoa Government – Imports by ASG departments, full rates apply unless exempted.
• Cannery & Ships Gear in Transit – Equipment and supplies for cannery operations are usually tax exempt. Requirements apply.
• U.S. Federal Government – Federal agency imports are exempt from excise tax under applicable law.

Selecting the wrong importer category may result in incorrect tax calculation, delayed clearance, penalty/fine, confiscation of merchandise, or revocation of any tax exemption on file.

Based on classification and importer type, taxes and fees may be calculated using:

• Ad Valorem (Percentage-Based) – A percentage of the item’s FOB (Free On Board) value.
• Per Unit – A fixed amount per item, liter, ounces, pounds, gallons, etc.
• Hybrid Models – A combination of both (common for regulated goods).

Customs Treasury fees may also be applied based on inspection requirements, after hours or holiday operations, or storage.

The Treasury Department may issue tax exemptions or preferential rates for certain importers or items. Exemptions may be:

• Time-Limited – Valid for a set period (e.g., calendar year)
• Indefinite – Ongoing until revoked
• Conditional – Based on project (e.g., hotel construction) or item (e.g., solar panels for solar farm)

Proper documentation must be provided at the time of declaration. Misuse of exemptions may result in audits, penalties, confiscation or delayed release of goods by ASG Customs.

The information, calculations, classifications, fee displays, and other assessment-related outputs made available through the Service are intended to support the Customs declaration process and may reflect current system logic, rate tables, workflow rules, and administrative configurations in use at the time of processing.

However, the Service does not eliminate the authority of the American Samoa Government Treasury and Customs Division to review, verify, correct, override, reclassify, reassess, or otherwise determine the proper classification, valuation, exemption status, duty, excise tax, fee, penalty, documentation requirement, or clearance condition applicable to any declaration, goods, or submission.

Accordingly, all final official determinations issued, applied, approved, or required by the American Samoa Government Treasury and Customs Division, whether through the Service, through manual review, through supervisory action, through inspection, or through any other authorized Customs process, shall control and prevail in the event of any inconsistency, dispute, discrepancy, omission, or system-generated error.

Users remain responsible for providing accurate, complete, and properly supported information and for complying with all applicable Customs requirements. Use of the Service does not guarantee that any system-generated classification, valuation, exemption treatment, duty calculation, excise tax calculation, fee calculation, or workflow status will be accepted as final without further review.

Where required, Customs may also rely on manual review, supporting documentation, inspection findings, inter-agency input, supervisory review, legal interpretation, policy guidance, or other authorized administrative action in making a final determination.

The ASG expects users of the Service to submit, upload, and use only materials that they are lawfully authorized to use in connection with the Customs process.

If You believe that any material made available through the Service has been submitted, uploaded, used, or made available without proper authorization, or otherwise violates intellectual property rights, proprietary rights, confidentiality obligations, or other legal rights, You may notify the ASG in writing at [email protected] and provide sufficient detail to identify the material and the basis for Your concern.

Upon receipt of such notice, the ASG may review the matter and may, where appropriate, restrict, remove, disable, or otherwise limit access to the challenged material, or take other administrative action consistent with applicable law, policy, and the integrity of the Customs process.

The ASG reserves the right to take such action as it deems appropriate in response to claims involving unauthorized use of materials, disputed ownership, misuse of documents, or other related concerns.

The Service, including its design, layout, structure, interface elements, software components, system architecture, business logic, workflows, functionality, text, graphics, logos, icons, and other original materials made available by the ASG or itsAuthorized Service Providers, is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, proprietary-rights, software, database, and other intellectual property and legal protections, to the extent applicable.

Except as otherwise permitted by law or expressly authorized in writing, You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, republish, reverse engineer, create derivative works from, publicly display, or otherwise use any protected portion of the Service for unauthorized commercial or competitive purposes.

Nothing in these Terms transfers to You any ownership right, title, or interest in or to the Service itself, except for the limited right to access and use the Service in accordance with these Terms, applicable law, and applicable Customs requirements.

You may not remove, alter, obscure, or misuse any proprietary notice, attribution, identifier, logo, mark, or other source designation appearing in or through the Service.

This section does not apply to declarations, submissions, supporting documents, or other records provided by You through the Service, except to the extent otherwise stated in these Terms or required by applicable law.

If You provide feedback, suggestions, recommendations, comments, ideas, or other input relating to the Service, the Customs process, pilot initiative activities, localization needs, workflow improvements, user experience, or related government administrative functions, You agree that the ASG and its Authorized Service Providers may use, review, analyze, reproduce, adapt, modify, and incorporate such feedback for purposes of service improvement, operational learning, localization research, workflow refinement, training, support, platform development, and other government-related administrative or technical purposes, without restriction and without any obligation to compensate You.

You acknowledge and agree that any feedback You provide may be used to help improve the Service and related Customs processes, including during pilot activities, phased rollout, digital modernization efforts, and ongoing service refinement.

Nothing in this section transfers ownership of Your declarations, submissions, supporting documents, or other records You provide through the Service for Customs-processing purposes, except to the extent otherwise stated in these Terms or required by applicable law.

This limitation is intended to apply whether the claim is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, statute, or any other legal theory.

Nothing in these Terms shall be interpreted to limit, waive, or exclude any liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded under applicable law.

In any case where liability is found to exist notwithstanding the limitations set forth above, the total aggregate liability of the ASG and its Authorized Service Providers arising out of or relating to the Service shall be limited to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law.

The ASG further does not warrant that any information, classification, calculation, valuation, workflow status, document processing result, or system output generated or displayed through the Service will be final, error-free, complete, or accepted without further administrative, supervisory, manual, legal, or inter-agency review.

No oral or written information, guidance, assistance, support, training, communication, or technical help provided by the ASG or any Authorized Service Provider shall create any warranty, representation, or guarantee unless expressly stated in writing in an authorized agreement.

Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to limit any obligation, protection, or standard that cannot lawfully be disclaimed under applicable law.
