en.Wedoany.com Reported - U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on June 3 aimed at strengthening customs enforcement and increasing oversight of international supply chains.

The executive order seeks to enhance federal legal compliance, bolster national security protections, while addressing issues such as forced labor and supply chain transparency. It directs the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to strengthen importer verification, intensify enforcement actions, and expand scrutiny of foreign importers.

CBP Commissioner Rodney Scott stated that importing into the United States has long been treated as a right rather than a privilege, and that CBP will implement the priorities outlined in the executive order, thereby reinforcing the trade border just as it reinforces the physical border.

The order requires ensuring that importers of record properly document imported goods, preventing them from using shell companies and schemes to conceal the true country of origin of goods. Specific measures include expanding importer disclosure requirements, increasing bond obligations, and implementing stricter review procedures.

The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) stated it is reviewing the order, but the impact on Canadian trucking companies remains unclear. In a statement, the organization said it is currently consulting with industry stakeholders and legal counsel to understand the potential implications for Canadian transportation companies, shippers, customs brokers, and other supply chain participants, and will continue to closely monitor developments, providing further analysis and guidance to members as more information becomes available.

U.S. federal agencies are required to develop regulations and implementation plans under the order, and many measures are expected to seek public comment before implementation.

ArentFox Schiff wrote in a blog post that the practical takeaway is that the cost and complexity of becoming an importer—not just the cost of goods—are about to rise.
