Overview
of Custom's Enforcement Presentation
Two of U.S. Customs and Border
Protection's (CBP) Priority Trade Initiatives for 2009 focused on
Revenue Collection and Penalties, and we can expect that CBP will
continue its increased enforcement efforts in the New Year. With
continued audit activity, NAFTA verifications, import safety concerns,
and other enforcement actions on the rise, along with new enforcement
initiatives related to the Importer Security Filing requirements,
importers must remain on their toes to avoid supply chain delays and
costly liquidated damages or penalty assessments. The key to any
successful trade compliance program is an understanding of the risks and
a clear message of compliance from senior management. Trade compliance
awareness, communication throughout the company, and proactive internal
controls are going to be more important than ever.
