Textile and Apparel Importers May Need to Update Practices in Light of New DHS Strategy (From Sandler Travis & Rosenberg)
The Department of Homeland Security announced April 5 an enhanced strategy to combat illicit trade in textile and apparel products. In light of the “strengthened enforcement efforts” outlined in this strategy, importers of such goods are advised to begin validating documents throughout their supply chains.
“We are pulling out all the stops to stay one step ahead of the bad actors that try to threaten this essential industry,” said acting U.S. Customs and Border Protection commissioner Troy Miller. “This plan ensures we are holding them accountable: violators will not qualify for preferential duty treatment under USMCA, CAFTA-DR, or other trade agreements, and will be subject to payment of duties owed, penalties, seizures, and criminal investigations.”
