Washington, D.C. — U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in an effort to enforce U.S. trade laws and regulations, has seized $6 million textile products since February 24, 2006. This brings the total amount of textile goods seized in FY06 to more than $20 million.
In the past three weeks 26 seizures were made. Almost all of those seizures were based on the violation of Chinese safeguard/quota requirements. "CBP is charged with enforcing trade laws and we continue to be focused on the circumvention of quotas," said Acting Commissioner, Deborah J. Spero.
CBP Import Specialists with specialized commodity knowledge analyze and review textile imports for possible violations at the ports of entry.
"CBP continues to maintain a robust trade enforcement program. The CBP Import Specialists will continue to review textile shipments to ensure compliance with laws and regulations governing imports," said Janet Labuda, Director, Textile Enforcement and Operations Division.
