US' CBP launches dashboards to boost trade enforcement transparency

For the first time, members of both the public and trade community have the opportunity to access and navigate through updated data and global trends concerning trade violations directly. These include detailed insights into the countries of origin, as well as the volume and types of trade violation allegations processed by CBP via the Trade Violations Reporting Tool.

The EAPA dashboard serves as a transparent platform for stakeholders to monitor the scope, nature, and geographic specifics of antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) evasion allegations. The EAPA programme itself is designed to facilitate the trade community in submitting allegations of AD and CVD evasion and to engage in an on-the-record investigative process.

Simultaneously, the e-Allegations programme extends an invitation to both the trade sector and general public to report various commercial trade violations. This collaborative process enables the CBP and its partners to shield the US economy from the detrimental impacts of unfair trade practices and prevent the entry of goods that could potentially harm public health and safety.

These new dashboards underscore CBP's commitment to maintaining the integrity of international trade practices by ensuring an open and accountable trade enforcement environment. Through these tools, CBP aims to foster a more informed and cooperative relationship with global trade participants, thereby enhancing the overall security and fairness of trade operations.

“With the launch of these dashboards, we are empowering the trade community and the public with clear insights into the scope and nature of trade violation allegations,” said CBP’s executive director of trade remedy law enforcement Eric Choy. “These tools underscore our dedication to fair and effective trade enforcement by making key data accessible.”
