US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has stepped up its enforcement efforts on textiles and apparel under free trade agreements. Seemingly small document deficiencies can lead to significant duty assessments. CBP has strict standards for enforcement of claims for duty-free treatment for textile products, apparel and bags under free trade agreements and duty preference programs. Many importers receive verification notices months after the date of entry with tight timelines to respond and support their claims or are subject to CBP audit inquiries.
