Title: Customs Broker Identification of Importers | |
Abstract:
This document proposes to amend the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations by requiring customs brokers to verify that the identity of the importers and non-resident importers in accordance with section 116 of the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act (TFTEA) of 2015 (Pub. L. 114-125). The proposed regulations create an identification process for customs brokers to follow that occurs contemporaneously with the power of attorney that customs brokers obtain from importers. The proposed regulations aim to prevent fraud, to guarantee that all customs brokers perform due diligence to verify importers’ identities, and to standardize how customs brokers verify new clients. |
