Bill overview
The Fighting Trade Cheats Act of 2023 aims to strengthen enforcement against fraudulent and negligent violations of U.S. customs laws. It increases penalties for these offenses, raising the maximum civil penalty for fraud to three times the value of the merchandise and prohibiting importers from importing for five years. The bill also establishes a private right of action for injured parties to sue for customs fraud, and it restricts individuals who commit these violations from participating in the Importer of Record program. Furthermore, it defines ‘affiliated person’ more broadly to include family members and business partners.
