DOJ Settlements Highlight Continued Customs And Trade Fraud Vigilance

The Department of Justice has secured major settlements totaling over $550 million against companies for customs fraud, signaling an aggressive enforcement posture on trade violations. These cases demonstrate that businesses of all sizes face significant civil and criminal liability for misrepresenting imported goods to evade tariffs and duties. Companies must now evaluate their supply chains and compliance programs to avoid becoming the next target of DOJ's Trade Fraud Task Force.
