Trade Regulation Updates

"U.S. Customs and Border Protection is responsible for enforcing the regulation at ports of entry.  To motivate WPM compliance, effective  November 1, 2017, responsible parties with a documented WPM violation may be issued a penalty under Title 19 United States Code (USC) §  1595a(b) or under 19 USC § 1592.  This is a change from the previously published threshold of 5 violations.  There will be no yearly reset for calculating repeat violations as each WPM violation may incur a penalty."
