Accuracy of Importer of Record Data Submitted to CBP

This document notifies the public that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is taking initial steps to implement Executive Order 14411 "Strengthening Customs Enforcement." CBP is executing enhanced enforcement procedures to verify the accuracy of the information provided by new and existing importers of record on the CBP Form 5106, consistent with Executive Order 14411 and governing statutes. Importers of Record (IORs), or customs brokers providing information on the IOR's behalf, must provide accurate and complete information for the IOR. Inaccurate information may result in immediate voiding of IOR numbers and other enforcement actions. IORs, or customs brokers providing information on the IOR's behalf, should ensure that the information is accurate to avoid the voiding of their IOR number, and in preparation for future Executive Order implementation.

This is a factual description of what was issued or decided, not an assessment of it.
