In light of CBP’s findings, CBP will:
- Require “live” entry for imports of quartz surface products by the Importers, meaning the importer must submit proper import documentation and duties prior to release of the merchandise;
- Suspend or extend the Importers’ entries without final computation or determination of duties (liquidation), as appropriate; and
- Review the Importers’ continuous bonds and require single transaction bonds for their entries, as appropriate.
These actions do not preclude CBP from taking additional enforcement measures as it determines appropriate under its EAPA or other legal authorities, which include pursuing civil penalties or investigations into criminal violations.
For additional information on CBP and EAPA, please visit the EAPA Homepage. If you suspect an importer of duty evasion, CBP encourages you to submit an allegation through our online portal.
