or other monies or the refund of same. Each person, business firm, 
Government agency, or other organization that intends to file an import 
entry must file CBP Form 5106 with the first formal entry or request

minutes. There are no changes to CBP Form 5106 or to the information 
collected.
    Type of Review: Extension (with change).
