Home Newsroom National Media Release CBP issues WRO against Finca Monte Grande Newsroom Accountability and Transparency Stats and Summaries Media Releases Documents Library Social Media Directory Press Officers Legal Notices Frontline Digital Magazine Comunicados de Prensa Announcements Publications Catalog Spotlights Newsroom Accountability and Transparency Stats and Summaries Media Releases Documents Library Social Media Directory Press Officers Legal Notices Frontline Digital Magazine Comunicados de Prensa Announcements Publications Catalog Spotlights CBP issues WRO against Finca Monte Grande Release Date Thu, 01/29/2026 Agency will detain imports of coffee harvested with forced labor WASHINGTON — U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued a Withhold Release Order against coffee harvested by Finca Monte Grande, a Mexican coffee farm. Effective immediately, CBP at all U.S. ports of entry will detain coffee harvested by Finca Monte Grande. “This action reminds us why CBP’s enforcement mission matters,” said CBP Commissioner Rodney S. Scott. “This work protects vulnerable workers from exploitation and ensures companies cannot gain an unfair advantage by abusing human rights. By detaining these coffee products at our ports of entry, CBP is keeping goods made with forced labor out of U.S. commerce.” CBP issued this WRO, the first in 2026 and the third in Fiscal Year 2026, due to violations of 19 U.S.C. § 1307, the law prohibiting goods made with forced labor from entering the United States. When CBP has evidence indicating imported goods are made by forced labor, the agency acts to detain those shipments through WROs. This WRO is the result of a CBP investigation and review of the following supporting evidence: in-depth interview transcripts, interview questionnaires, international organization and nongovernmental organization reports, and open-source news media reports. Taken together, the evidence demonstrated that workers at Finca Monte Grande are subject to six International Labour Organization indicators of forced labor: abuse of vulnerability, withholding of wages, retention of identity documents, excessive overtime, debt bondage, and abusive working and living conditions. The facts indicate by reasonable suspicion that workers are engaged in forced labor. Additionally, CBP trade import data demonstrates that the goods are being, or are likely to be, imported into the United States. CBP receives allegations of forced labor from a variety of sources including government agencies, media, non-governmental organizations, and members of the public. “The message is clear: if you profit from forced labor, you lose access to the U.S. market,” said Acting Executive Assistant Commissioner of CBP’s Office of Trade Susan S. Thomas. “CBP’s actions protect American workers and businesses that compete fairly and play by the rules.” The WRO against Finca Monte Grande highlights CBP’s continued efforts to combat forced labor. With this action, CBP now oversees and enforces 55 WROs and nine Findings under 19 U.S.C. § 1307. Importers of detained shipments may seek to destroy or export their shipments or seek to demonstrate that the merchandise was not produced with forced labor. Any person or organization with reason to believe merchandise produced with forced labor is being, or is likely to be, imported into the United States can report allegations through CBP’s Forced Labor Allegation Portal .

Home Newsroom National Media Release CBP launches Pay.gov for U.S. Virgin Islands imports Newsroom Accountability and Transparency Stats and Summaries Media Releases Documents Library Social Media Directory Press Officers Legal Notices Frontline Digital Magazine Comunicados de Prensa Announcements Publications Catalog Spotlights Newsroom Accountability and Transparency Stats and Summaries Media Releases Documents Library Social Media Directory Press Officers Legal Notices Frontline Digital Magazine Comunicados de Prensa Announcements Publications Catalog Spotlights CBP launches Pay.gov for U.S. Virgin Islands imports Release Date Wed, 03/25/2026 ST. THOMAS, Virgin Islands — U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced today a major advancement in trade modernization for the U.S. Virgin Islands: the use of Pay.gov for all payments of duties, taxes, and fees on imported merchandise. In upcoming months, importers will be able to submit payments electronically via Pay.gov, marking a significant step toward fully automating the USVI commercial process. This new capability applies to all cargo arriving from the continental United States, Puerto Rico, and foreign locations. The acceptance of paper-based payments at the U.S. Virgin Islands ports of entry will drastically be reduced while CBP prioritizes cargo/importations transactions completed through electronic payment systems. The adoption of Pay.gov offers importers, residents, and travelers a faster, secure, and user-friendly platform to manage payments. By creating a Pay.gov account, users can save payment information, track transactions, and manage recurring payments. Importer, broker, and service provider payments for formal entries can be made by ACH debit from a U.S. bank account, and payment data will be synchronized with the Automated Commercial Environment entry records in real time, reducing errors and expediting cargo release. For informal entries, residents and travelers may pay their duty amounts with a credit or debit card. “Pay.gov is a game changer for the U.S. Virgin Islands,” said Area Port Director for the US Virgin Islands Todd Bellew. “This new platform will make it faster and easier for importers to meet their obligations, while giving CBP the tools to process cargo more efficiently and securely. It’s a win for trade and for the territory.” The move to Pay.gov is a key component of CBP’s broader strategy to fully automate the USVI commercial process. In the near future, CBP expects to introduce additional digital solutions that will further streamline cargo processing, enhance compliance, and improve the overall experience for the trade community, like Electronic Manifest. In addition to Pay.gov, CBP will mandate the electronic submission of cargo manifests via the ACE and Electronic Data Interchange systems. The electronic manifest transmission provides CBP with critical advance cargo notice, essential for effectively securing America’s Caribbean Border. Carriers must use the following port codes to transmit electronic manifest information to the USVI: For shipments originating from the Continental US and Puerto Rico to the USVI, the carrier needs to add USVI designated foreign port codes (91155 – STT, 91195 – STJ, and 91149 – STX) to their internal proprietary systems to enable cargo manifest transmission to the USVI. For foreign shipments to the USVI, use domestic port codes 5101 – STT, 5102 – STJ, and 5104 – STX . Carriers are required to test their systems with CBP to ensure proper data transmission. Importers and filers must continue to request cargo release via the USVICEI mailbox to obtain CBP authorization for delivery. CBP will provide a grace period for carriers and importers to adapt to the new requirements. After the grace period, penalties for non-compliance may be assessed, and cargo release may be delayed. These changes are authorized by the Trade Act of 2002, and federal regulations governing customs operations in the U.S. Virgin Islands, which mandates the advance electronic submission of cargo information. CBP is the nation’s largest federal law enforcement agency, responsible for securing America’s borders and facilitating lawful international trade and travel. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is America's frontline: the nation's largest law enforcement organization and the world's first unified border management agency.

Zrenjanin Release Date Thu, 12/18/2025 Agency will detain imports of tires manufactured using forced labor WASHINGTON — U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued a Withhold Release Order against automobile tires manufactured in Serbia by Linglong International Europe D.O.O. Zrenjanin (Linglong). Effective immediately, CBP personnel at all U.S. ports of entry will detain shipments of these tires due to evidence reasonably indicating the use of forced labor in their production. “The message is clear—the United States will not tolerate forced labor in supply chains,” said CBP Commissioner Rodney S. Scott. This WRO, the fifth in 2025 and the second in Fiscal Year 2026, was issued due to violations of 19 U.S.C. § 1307, the law prohibiting goods made with forced labor from entering the United States. When CBP has evidence indicating that imported goods are made by forced labor, the agency acts to detain those shipments through WROs. “Americans should not have to compete with products made through exploitation,” said Acting Executive Assistant Commissioner Susan S. Thomas of CBP’s Office of Trade. “By preventing forced-labor goods from entering U.S. commerce, CBP helps ensure American workers and businesses compete on a level playing field.” This WRO is the result of a CBP investigation and review of information that Linglong manufactures automobile tires using forced labor. CBP analyzed the following supporting evidence: worker statements, photographs, employment contracts, focus group field notes, text message screenshots, open-source non-government organization reports, news media, and academic research. Taken together, the evidence demonstrated that workers at Linglong are subject to nine International Labour Organization indicators of forced labor: retention of identity documents, intimidation and threats, isolation, excessive overtime, withholding of wages, debt bondage, abusive living and working conditions, deception, and abuse of vulnerability. The facts underlying these indicators show, by reasonable suspicion, that workers are engaged in forced labor (i.e., work performed involuntarily and under menace of penalty). Additionally, CBP trade import data demonstrates that the goods are being, or are likely to be, imported into the United States. The WRO against Linglong highlights CBP’s continued efforts to combat forced labor. With this action, CBP now oversees and enforces 55 WROs and nine Findings under 19 U.S.C. § 1307.

Home Newsroom National Media Release CBP collects $1 billion since end of de minimis loophole Newsroom Accountability and Transparency Stats and Summaries Media Releases Documents Library Social Media Directory Press Officers Legal Notices Frontline Digital Magazine Comunicados de Prensa Announcements Publications Catalog Spotlights Newsroom Accountability and Transparency Stats and Summaries Media Releases Documents Library Social Media Directory Press Officers Legal Notices Frontline Digital Magazine Comunicados de Prensa Announcements Publications Catalog Spotlights CBP collects $1 billion since end of de minimis loophole Release Date Wed, 12/17/2025 New oversight of low-value packages strengthens U.S. economic and national security WASHINGTON — U.S. Customs and Border Protection collected over $1 billion in duties on over 246 million low-cost shipments since the administration began phasing out the de minimis loophole in May 2025, recovering a record amount of revenue that had previously gone uncollected. “Reaching the $1 billion milestone so quickly shows just how much revenue was slipping away under the old rules,” said CBP Commissioner Rodney S. Scott. “With this change, American businesses don’t have to compete with duty-free foreign goods, and CBP has stronger oversight of what comes into our country.” The administration began the phaseout of the de minimis loophole on May 2, 2025, when low-value shipments from China and Hong Kong were no longer eligible for duty-free entry. CBP fully implemented the change worldwide on August 29, 2025, with the elimination of the de minimis exemption. CBP is now able to collect significant revenue, fully vetting shipments, and stop dangerous and illegal goods from reaching the American consumer. Since de minimis ended for China and Hong Kong, CBP seizures of unsafe and non-compliant low-value goods have increased by 82%. These included counterfeits, narcotics, faulty electronics, and goods containing hazardous chemicals. “With increased visibility into data for these low-value shipments, we’re better equipped to detect and disrupt criminal networks from smuggling drugs, counterfeits, and other illegal items—making our country safer,” said Acting Executive Assistant Commissioner for CBP’s Office of Trade Susan S. Thomas. The volume of packages entering the U.S. continues to grow as importers adapt to CBP’s updated de minimis policies. The end of the de minimis exemption aligns with CBP’s broader trade enforcement initiatives aimed at ensuring compliance with U.S. customs regulations and safeguarding domestic industries. CBP provides detailed guidance and resources to the trade community regarding the importation of low-value shipments.

The improvements enable automated processing, making it easier, faster and more secure for businesses to engage in lawful trade with CBP while managing their customs transactions online, enhancing efficiency and safeguarding both economic and national security. “These enhancements are significant for the trade community and CBP,” said Acting Executive Assistant Commissioner for CBP’s Office of Trade Susan S. Thomas. “Enhancing ACE enables secure electronic refunds, faster payments, fewer errors and a simplified process for importers, brokers and refund recipients.” The U.S. Department of the Treasury will cease issuing paper checks for all CBP refunds on Feb. 6, unless the recipient has an approved waiver in place in accordance with 31 C.F.R. § 208.4, transitioning away from traditional paper-based refunds that impose unnecessary costs and delays. Adopting an electronic refund process will also provide increased security against financial fraud and improper payments. These updates, outlined in Interim Final Rule: Electronic Refunds, align with Executive Order 14247: Modernizing Payments To and From America's Bank Account, which directs federal agencies to transition to electronic refunds for all federal disbursements and receipts to the extent permitted by law. The ACE Portal is the centralized platform that connects the trade community with CBP and partner government agencies, providing real-time access to trade transactions and data. The first improvement introduces a secure online tool for authorizing electronic refunds, and the second simplifies the application process for creating importer accounts. Together, these enhancements prepare users for the transition to an electronic refund process.

As of Jan. 15, 2026, the U.S. will no longer detain at ports of entry palm oil and palm oil products produced by FGV and, effective immediately, will allow palm oil and palm oil products produced by FGV to enter the United States, provided they are otherwise compliant with U.S. laws. “Responsible trade must protect the people behind the product, not put them at risk,” said Rodney S. Scott, CBP Commissioner. “When our review showed that FGV’s shipments weren’t meeting U.S. standards, we took action to stop them. The company has now made the corrections we required, and this modification helps keep our supply chains fair, secure and accountable.” This is the agency’s first modification in fiscal year 2026. Since 2019, CBP has issued and modified eight WROs and Findings in the palm oil and glove manufacturing sectors of Malaysia. As a result of these enforcement actions, companies have repaid over $85 million in withheld wages and recruitment fees to workers trapped in debt bondage. These changes have led to a more level playing field for American businesses and workers. CBP does not modify WROs or Findings until the agency has evidence demonstrating that the producer of subject merchandise no longer produces, manufactures or mines the subject goods using forced labor. “By restoring the true value of labor through these reimbursements, we are doing more than leveling the playing field for American businesses. We are affirming the inherent dignity of workers who have been exploited by these companies,” said Acting Executive Assistant Commissioner for CBP’s Office of Trade Susan S. Thomas. “On this Human Trafficking Prevention Month, this action helps to demonstrate the effectiveness of CBP’s forced labor enforcement.” On Sept. 30, 2020, CBP issued a WRO against imported palm oil and palm oil products produced using forced labor, wholly or in part, by FGV, based on evidence reasonably indicating that the working conditions at FGV exposed workers to all 11 International Labour Organization forced labor indicators. Since implementing the WRO, FGV has taken actions to identify, correct and prevent forced labor using the established process that allows interested parties to request that CBP modify a WRO or Finding. Any person or organization with reason to believe merchandise produced with forced labor is being (or is likely to be) imported into the United States can report detailed allegations by contacting CBP through the e-Allegations Online Trade Violation Reporting System or by calling 1-800-BE-ALERT.

In fiscal year 2016, CBP processed more travelers than ever before at U.S. ports of entry and made significant gains in finishing the U.S. single window for businesses to electronically transmit the data required by the U.S. government to import and export cargo. “The men and women of CBP work tirelessly to ensure our national security, protecting the American people from dangerous imports and people, and to keep the economy flowing as evident by CBP’s accomplishments in fiscal year 2016,” said Commissioner R. Gil Kerlikowske. “To handle the ever-growing amount of trade and travelers that need to be processed, CBP innovated the way we do business. We used technology to streamline our processes—increasing efficiency not only for our CBP officers, but for travelers, the trade community, businesses and our stakeholders as well.” Travel Facilitation In support of the Administration’s National Travel and Tourism Strategy, CBP continues to transform the international arrivals process to attract and welcome visitors to the U.S. while maintaining the highest standards of security. CBP officers processed more than 390 million travelers at air, land, and sea ports of entry in FY2016, including more than 119 million travelers at air ports of entry. Over the last five years, international travel has grown 15 percent overall and 26 percent at airports. International travel at U.S. air ports of entry increased 6 percent from FY2015. Over the next five years, international travel is projected to increase at an annual rate of 4 percent . Travel industry associations estimate that visitors spend on average $4,500 per visit to the U.S. which contributes to the travel exports surplus that is an engine of economic growth. To handle the growth in international travel, CBP has worked collaboratively with the travel industry to transform the international arrivals experience. CBP continues to bring advances in technology and automation to ports of entry to streamline the entry process and enhance security. In FY2016, CBP: Deployed Mobile Passport Control at 15 additional airports, meeting CBP’s goal of making the program available at 20 airports before the end of 2016. Mobile Passport is the first authorized app to expedite a traveler’s arrival into the United States. More than 580,000 U.S. citizens and Canadian visitors used the app in FY2016 for their entry into the country. Expanded user eligibility for Automated Passport Control (APC) kiosks to B1/B2 visa holders and foreign arriving aircrew at some locations. More than 55 million eligible travelers used APC kiosks to electronically submit their biographic information and answers to inspection-related questions to CBP in FY2016. APC kiosks were added at eight additional airports last year and are available for use at 42 international airports, including all major international airports in the United States and 9 Preclearance locations. Enrolled its 5 millionth Trusted Traveler. CBP Trusted Traveler Programs (Global Entry, NEXUS, SENTRI, and FAST) allow for expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States. Global Entry , CBP’s largest program with more than 3.4 million members, membership eligibility was expanded to citizens of Colombia, Singapore, and the United Kingdom in FY2016. Precleared more than 19 million travelers, representing 16 percent of all commercial air travel to the United States, at one of CBP’s Preclearance locations in Canada, Ireland, the Caribbean, and the United Arab Emirates. Through Preclearance, travelers undergo CBP immigration, customs, and agriculture inspections before boarding a flight to the United States at a foreign airport rather than upon arrival in

Precleared more than 19 million travelers, representing 16 percent of all commercial air travel to the United States, at one of CBP’s Preclearance locations in Canada, Ireland, the Caribbean, and the United Arab Emirates. Through Preclearance, travelers undergo CBP immigration, customs, and agriculture inspections before boarding a flight to the United States at a foreign airport rather than upon arrival in the U.S. Signed agreements recently with Sweden and the Dominican Republic to expand Preclearance operations to Stockholm Arlanda Airport and Punta Cana International Airport. Continued to prioritize expanding Preclearance to new airports. Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson announced on November 4, 2016 that 11 new airports are being considered as possible expansion locations. Enhanced the I-94 website to allow travelers to apply and pay for their I-94 online prior to arriving at a land port of entry. Travelers can speed up their entry into the U.S. by providing their biographic and travel information, and paying the $6 fee for their I-94 application online up to seven days prior to their entry. Signed 16 new Reimbursable Services Agreements with private and public sector partners to provide increased or enhanced inspection services upon request. These services include customs, immigration and agriculture processing and border security at ports of entry. CBP provided nearly 106,000 additional processing hours at the request of our 36 partners in FY2016—accounting for the processing of more than 2.2 million travelers and nearly 305,000 personal and commercial vehicles. Approved three proposals worth approximately $30 million in planned port of entry improvements as part of the Donations Acceptance Program . As part of a proposal from Red Hook Terminals, CBP accepted the donation of a perforating machine for the Port of Freeport, which is already having a positive impact on document processing times. Proposals from the City of Pharr, Texas and the City of Donna, Texas were approved and are currently in the planning and design phase. Deployed facial comparison technology at Washington Dulles International Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport to assist CBP officers in verifying a traveler’s identity against the passport they presented. Conducted three tests to evaluate biometric technologies in multiple environments to further secure and facilitate legitimate travel. At the Otay Mesa port of entry, CBP tested the feasibility of using biometric technology to verify the identity of foreign visitors entering and departing the U.S. as pedestrians. CBP also tested the feasibility of using mobile devices to perform biometric queries on foreign travelers before departing the United States at 10 airports around the country. In Atlanta, CBP deployed a Departure Information System Test (DIST) to compare images of travelers taken during boarding to previously provided photographs to confirm their identity and record their departure from the United States. This test has provided the foundation for developing an integrated departure process in the future and CBP is now positioned to transition between short-term targeted biometrics tests to the long-term transformation of processes to meet the Congressional mandate for a biometric exit system. Trade Facilitation CBP is the second largest revenue collecting source in the federal government and our operations have a significant impact on the security, as well as facilitation of legitimate international commerce and America’s economic competitiveness. CBP is responsible for enforcing nearly 500 U.S. trade laws and regulations on behalf of 47 federal agencies, facilitating compliant trade, collecting revenue, and protecting the U.S. economy and consumers from harmful imports and unfair trade practices. The passage of the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act (TFTEA) on February 24, 2016, was a milestone for CBP. It is the first comprehensive authorization of CBP since the creation of the Department of Homeland Security in 2003 and emphasizes CBP’s trade enforcement responsibilities in key areas, including the protection of intellectual property rights, antidumping/countervailing duty evasion, and forced labor-derived goods. TFTEA also supports CBP’s efforts to streamline and modernize processes through Business Transformation initiatives; to develop and implement the Centers of Excellence and Expertise; and to modernize drawback and simplify the process for duty refunds. In FY2016 and in support of TFTEA, CBP: Processed $2.28 trillion in imports,

TFTEA also supports CBP’s efforts to streamline and modernize processes through Business Transformation initiatives; to develop and implement the Centers of Excellence and Expertise; and to modernize drawback and simplify the process for duty refunds. In FY2016 and in support of TFTEA, CBP: Processed $2.28 trillion in imports, equating to 32.6 million entries, and more than 27 million imported cargo containers at U.S. ports of entry, an increase of 3 percent from FY2015. Collected approximately $40.1 billion in duties, taxes, and other fees, including more than $35.2 billion in duties. Initiated 205 seizures of unsafe imported products with a gross Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $11 million as part of the Commercial Targeting and Analysis Center (CTAC). CTAC is comprised of 11 federal agencies working together to target commercial shipments that pose a threat to the health and safety of American consumers. Enforced Antidumping and Countervailing Duties (AD/CVD). In FY2016, $13.9 billion of imported goods were subject to AD/CVD. CBP collected $1.5 billion in AD/CVD deposits and levied 13 monetary penalties totaling over $30.6 million on importers for fraud, gross negligence, and negligence for AD/CVD violations. CBP and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) seized 16 shipments with a domestic value of more than $5.3 million for AD/CVD violations and CBP audits identified $14.7 million in AD/CVD discrepancies with $4.8 million collected to date. Issued 4 Withhold and Release orders on goods made with forced labor, resulting in 44 detained shipments valued at $8.75 million . The orders required at all ports of entry the detention of merchandise manufactured by a company that CBP had reasonable information on indicating the imported merchandise was made with forced labor. Implemented the Commercial Truck User Fee pilot program allowing commercial trucks to prepay the single-crossing user fee online prior to arrival at a port of entry. The pilot began in June 2016 at the Buffalo, Detroit and El Paso ports of entry and has since been expanded to all commercial ports of entry. The online payment option was used more than 4,000 times in FY2016, reducing transaction time by an estimated 30 seconds per transaction. Operationalized all 10 Centers of Excellence and Expertise which transform the way CBP approaches trade operations and works with the international trade community. The Centers increase uniformity of practices across ports of entry, facilitate the timely resolution of trade compliance issues nationwide and further strengthen critical agency knowledge on key industry practices. Completed significant ACE deployments and mandatory transitions for Cargo Release, Entry Summary and Export capabilities as well as Partner Government Agency (PGA) integration. ACE is the system that enables the Single Window, the primary processing system through which trade-related data required by all government agencies is submitted and processed and saved CBP an estimated $20 million in FY2016. Partnered with ICE to seize 31,560 shipments that violated intellectual property rights . If the seized products were genuine, the total MSRP of the items would have been more than $1.38 billion. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is America's frontline: the nation's largest law enforcement organization and the world's first unified border management agency.

This new update includes the ability to select data to reflect shipment count or shipment value, identifies commodities at the Harmonized Tariff Schedule 4-digit level (HTS-4), view all countries-of-origin instead of only the top five countries-of-origin, and clarifies the definition of a “shipment”. In the previous Dashboard, a shipment is defined as an aggregate of the totality of goods subjected to UFLPA enforcement actions on one CBP cargo release entry . When a CBP cargo release entry is not present or required on an import transaction, a shipment is the totality of goods on one bill (i.e. bill of lading or airway bill). In the previous version, for example, one shipment or entry may have been filed with five “lines” or “import transactions” of different types of commodities (e.g. cotton t-shirt, cotton dress, cotton pants, polyester vest, and a man-made fiber jacket) from multiple countries (e.g. China, Malaysia, and Vietnam) and only three of those items (i.e. cotton t-shirt, cotton dress, and cotton pants) were subject to UFLPA enforcement actions. The previous version counted this example as one shipment subjected to UFLPA enforcement action. To provide increased specificity regarding the commodity under the HTS-4 classification and country-of-origin, a shipment is now defined as an individual import transaction , typically representing a specific product or item being imported, within a shipment entry or customs declaration. A shipment is equivalent to an individual transaction subjected to UFLPA enforcement action. With this change, in the example above where the previous count was one shipment , it is now counted as three shipments (e.g. cotton t-shirt, cotton dress, and cotton pants are now subjected to UFLPA enforcement actions). This modification has resulted in a significant change in the number of UFLPA enforcement actions displayed due to the additional transparency provided by CBP, while the total value of shipments stopped remain the same. For this Dashboard, individual transaction information now includes specific data such as HTS-4 codes, shipment value, country-of-origin, and exam results. For the purposes of this Dashboard, a "stopped" shipment is one for which CBP's automated systems have identified a potential UFLPA violation and subsequently halted cargo release. A

A “stopped” shipment is subject to further review, which may include electronic data reviews, document reviews, or physical inspection to assess whether the shipment should be released or excluded from entering the U.S. commerce. Not all shipments stopped resulted in a physical detention of cargo or physical examination of cargo.

Small businesses represent 99.9 percent of all United States businesses and employ 47.1 percent of the U.S. workforce. Small and mid-sized enterprises ("SMEs") are the lifeblood of the U.S. economy, driving business development, economic vitality, and human progress. Many of our SMEs, including start-ups, entrepreneurs, independent creators, and inventors, have developed an idea and taken it to market – creating a product or service that directly benefits consumers, improving and enriching their lives. The CBP Office of Trade is not only tasked with facilitating legitimate trade, but also enforcing the law, safeguarding the American economy, ensuring consumer safety, and creating a level playing field for American businesses -- especially our SMEs!
