Foreign Companies Facing Us Cbp Customs Investigations in Manhattan
Civil liability turns on culpability. Under 19 U.S.C. § 1592 a material false statement in an entry is penalized at one of three levels, and the ceiling differs by level: the domestic value of the merchandise for fraud, four times the loss of duties for gross negligence, and two times the loss for negligence. The limitations period is five years under § 1621. Disclosure before the government finds it changes the exposure. A valid prior disclosure under § 1592(c)(4), made before CBP has commenced a formal investigation and before the importer knows of it, limits the penalty to interest on the loss of revenue. Tendering the unpaid duties remains required either way. A response to a Form 28 or Form 29 is where the factual record is set, before any penalty notice issues. Mitigation then proceeds under the guidelines in 19 CFR Part 171, Appendix B, which weigh cooperation, remedial measures and the importer’s compliance history.
