💡Did you know? 💡CBP has updated the #ACE Secure Data Portal to support electronic refunds via #ACH — a major step toward payment modernization under Executive Order 14247. Key highlights: ✅ Trade Account Owners (TAOs) can now add U.S. bank details directly in the ACE Portal under the new ACH Refund Authorization tab. ✅ This replaces the old manual ACH Refund Enrollment form for importers receiving refunds from CBP. ✅ Each bank account must be added for every 5106 EIN + Suffix level individually. ✅ December 2025: New user permissions will allow others (besides TAOs) to manage ACH information. ✅ For now, refunds will still be issued by check — this update simply prepares the trade for electronic refunds ahead. 📅 This enhancement simplifies refund management and supports future automation. Customs brokers and importers should review their ACE Portal access and ensure they have the correct Importer sub-account setup to take advantage of the new feature. 🔗 Read all the details: https://lnkd.in/gsFUEaMs

🚨 #Trade Enforcement Alert 🚨. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Department of Homeland Security launched a #TradeFraudTaskForce to crack down on tariff evasion, customs fraud, and smuggling. What's inside: ✅ Stronger Enforcement Tools – Civil penalties, False Claims Act lawsuits, Tariff Act enforcement, and criminal prosecutions. ✅ High-Level Collaboration – DOJ Civil & Criminal Divisions, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). ✅ Recent Enforcement Cases – Duty evasion and fraud involving wood flooring, plastic resin, aluminum products, and quartz countertops—resulting in multimillion-dollar settlements. ✅ USMCA Compliance Challenges – Canadian exporters and U.S. importers must navigate complex rules to prove tariff exemptions under President Trump’s 35% tariffs tied to fentanyl concerns. ✅ DOJ Priorities – Trade fraud sits alongside health care fraud, money laundering, and securities fraud as top white-collar enforcement targets. ✅ Whistleblower Rewards – The DOJ encourages whistleblowers and companies to report suspected violations, with potential financial rewards for valid cases. The message is clear: trade fraud is not a victimless crime—and enforcement will only intensify under the America First Trade Policy. 🔗 Get the full details here: https://lnkd.in/gRdMwi-Q
