Fines, Penalties and Forfeitures - Working with Customs
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) seizes imported cargo every day, which can result in hefty fines and penalties for both importers and Customs brokers. If you received a letter from the Fines, Penalties, and Forfeitures Office (FP&F) for a seizure, penalty, fine, or claim, would you know what to do?
During this webinar, Donna Mullins, President and CEO of Mullins International Solutions, LLC, will discuss the importance of understanding import violations and how to fully prepare your organization for all possible Customs scenarios.
Key topics will include:
- Penalties for AES violations
- Claims for liquidated damages, especially failure to redeliver food in violation of FDA instructions
