Overview

This bill changes how U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shares information about suspected intellectual property violations when goods are imported. It expands who CBP can ask for help, allowing them to request information from a wider range of parties involved in the import process. The bill also broadens the type of information CBP can share, including details about packaging materials and data from online marketplaces, as long as CBP has a reasonable suspicion of a violation.

Key provisions

Expands the definition of ‘person’ CBP can request information from to include a broader range of parties involved in imports.
Allows CBP to request information about packing materials, shipping containers, and their appearance on merchandise.
Authorizes CBP to share nonpublic information generated by online marketplaces and similar platforms.
Requires CBP to notify the recipient when information is shared.
CBP can now request assistance from any party with an ‘interest’ in the merchandise.
CBP must have a ‘reasonable suspicion’ of intellectual property violation before requesting information.
