Surprise! You just got an emergency action notice that the wood packing material accompanying that multimillion-dollar machine you imported is in violation of regulations on Wood Packing Material (WPM) treatment and marking. If you don’t return the shipment within the 48 hours CBP gives you, a penalty on the value of not just the WPM but the entire shipment can be assessed.
CBP has been accelerating enforcement of the WPM regulations as a lucrative revenue-raising mechanism, but importers are frequently unaware of the regulations until they receive these notices.
This webinar will review current WPM requirements, how to respond to notices from CBP and USDA, and ways to mitigate penalties, as well as precautions importers can take to avoid violations and penalties in the first place.
