Sites are selected after extensive trade analysis. Countries are categorized based on risk for non-compliance with trade laws and policies. Those countries that are identified as high-risk go to the top of the list for verification activities, but selection of individual manufacturers is also a result of the application of stringent targeting techniques.
CBP import specialists at the ports of entry are receiving extensive Free Trade Agreement (FTA) training to target possible violation of FTA requirements in shipments entering U.S. trade.
Yet another resource used to identify misdescribed merchandise are the CBP Laboratories. Laboratory analysis can establish the make-up of any textile product through chemical and fiber analysis. “CBP has an arsenal of tools to ensure compliance with laws and regulations governing imports,” said Janet Labuda, Director, Textile Enforcement and Operations Division.
CBP will continue to use a multi-faceted, but complimentary approach consisting of trade pattern analysis, on-site verifications, review of production records, audits, and laboratory analysis to enforce our trade laws and to ensure that appropriate revenue is collected.
