How to Request Your CBP Form 7501 from SEKO Logistics

Informational only — not legal advice.

What you need

Minimum to act today:

• Date range (start/end)
• Your legal company name
• One shipment identifier (AWB/BOL/tracking or invoice/PO)

If you have it (speeds results):

• Entry numbers
• Importer number (often EIN-based), if known
• SEKO shipment/file reference numbers

You’ll use these identifiers to search in Portal access and to write a high-signal request in Email request.

Portal access

If you don’t have a login (or don’t see entry PDFs), skip to Email request.

SEKO provides a mySEKO login and a public tracking page. Depending on your account and permissions, you may be able to view documents in mySEKO; if not, tracking can still help you confirm shipment identifiers. (mySEKO login, SEKO — Track My Shipment)

Practical approach:

1. Log into mySEKO (if you have access) and locate the relevant shipments/entries.
2. Download any documents available to you.
3. If you don’t see entry summary PDFs, still capture:
   • Entry number (best, if shown)
   • SEKO file/shipment reference numbers
   • AWB/BOL + invoice/PO references

Email request

If you can’t self-download entry summary PDFs, route a request to SEKO customs brokerage operations.

SEKO describes customs clearance services and provides a contact page you can use to route requests. (SEKO — customs clearance, SEKO — contact)

What to request (copy/paste wording)

“Please provide CBP Form 7501 (Entry Summary) PDFs (including any continuation sheets) for the entries/shipments below. If available, please also provide an ACE entry summary export (CSV/Excel) and confirm the Importer of Record (IOR) per entry.”

What to include in your request

• Legal company name
• Date range
• Shipment identifiers (from What you need)
• If available: entry numbers, importer number, broker/file refs
• Ask for: 7501 PDFs + continuation sheets, ACE entry summary export (if available), and IOR confirmation per entry

If you’re not sure who the IOR is / you’re told you’re not authorized

• Ask them to confirm the IOR per entry (name + importer number).
• Ask what authorization they require to release documents (release letter, POA, etc.).
• Keep everything in writing.

If they say “no 7501 exists” / “we don’t have a 7501 PDF”

1. Clarify their role and what they can still provide:
   • Did SEKO act as the customs broker / entry filer for these shipments?
   • If another broker filed, can they share the broker name (and filer code, if known) and any entry numbers they have?
   • If they can’t provide a 7501 PDF, can they provide an ACE entry summary export (CSV/Excel) or at least an entry number list tied to these shipments?
2. For the “paper vs electronic equivalent” context (and common exceptions), see: CBP Form 7501 Field Guide.

What to do once you have the 7501s

At minimum, extract:

• Entry number(s)
• Importer of Record identification (name + importer number)
• The duty lines you care about (often reflected via HTS + Chapter 99 lines)
• Duty/fee totals

Then keep the PDFs organized by entry number or month so you can upload in batches.
