Trade and Cargo Security Summit Recap and CBP'\;s Expanding Enforcement

Customs enforcement no longer looks like a single inspection at the port. CBP now sees itself first and foremost as a law enforcement agency\, shifting emphasis from trade facilitation toward aggressive\, multi-front enforcement that reaches importers\, brokers\, carriers\, and other intermediaries.

This session opens with a recap of this year'\;s Trade and Cargo Security Summit\, distilling the key themes\, emerging threats\, and enforcement priorities that defined the event and translating them into actionable intelligence for trade and compliance professionals.

We will then unpack how CBP'\;s posture is showing up in daily practice\, including:

- Where brokers get pulled in. How importer noncompliance expands across the supply chain to brokers\, carriers\, and other parties and what that means for your reasonable supervision and control obligations and 19 CFR Part 111 exposure.

- The tools CBP is using to drive compliance: Requests for Information (CF 28)\, Notices of Action (CF 29)\, entry rejections\, audits and focused assessments\, penalties\, prior disclosure scrutiny\, forced labor enforcement\, cargo holds\, detentions and seizures\, False Claims Act\, and enhanced targeting.

- What "\;law enforcement first"\; means for your operations: documentation\, record keeping\, and how you communicate with the agency.

- Practical strategies to reduce risk: tightening internal controls\, preparing for inquiries and audits\, advising clients who aren'\;t fully compliant\, and positioning your organization as a credible\, cooperative partner without overexposing yourself.
