Question: I’m building a presentation for management where I’m looking to include a ‘fear factor’ slide showing other company’s fines, penalties, etc., for mismanagement or little / no management over the import process. Seems like export cases are well published, any published / publicly available import cases that I could reference ? Names not necessary, […]
Question: I remember hearing about a penalty case where a manufacturer gave an incorrect ECCN to their customer, the customer exported with that ECCN and the manufacturer was penalized.

Does anyone have any examples of companies being penalized by CBP for incorrect valuation and incorrect recordkeeping? As usual I need some examples for management to help them understand the importance of these two items as they pertain to their import transactions. I have checked the Courts of International Trade (CIT) website and the CBP […]
I am hearing that Customs is issuing penalties not only to the permit holder, the Corporation for example, but also issuing penalties to the license holder, the individual.
