Does eDecs allow paperless filing?
Answer 12: No. Each electronic declaration must be accompanied by the paper document package. In the future, we may allow paperless filing for certain commodities. • Question 13: How long does eDecs keep my records? Answer 13: Records are archived and maintained for one year. You may access your previously submitted electronic declarations by clicking “My eDecs history” on your account screen. • Question 14: How do I pay my user fees? Answer 14: You have two options for making fee payments. You may either pay on-line, with a credit card, using the eDecs on-line payment module, or by submitting fees manually with the paper declaration package. On-line payment must be done with a credit card, but can be accepted by any of the USFWS port offices. Manual payment may be in the form of a check, or using a credit card with the port office. However, not all port offices are set up to accept all forms of manual payment. Please check with your port office to determine all possible payment method
