What is Oversight (Customs)?

The CBP directly oversees the vast majority of goods entering the country. Some aspects of oversight include:

  • Ensuring compliance with the law: Oversight helps to ensure that importers are complying with laws and regulations. 
  • Identifying and addressing corruption: Oversight helps to identify and address corruption. This is important to protect the public interest and to ensure that importers are obeying the law.
  • Improving efficiency and effectiveness: This is essential to ensure that importers are able to meet their business objectives.

This oversight is important for protecting U.S. consumers, businesses, and national security. For new importers, it's essential to understand these requirements to avoid potential legal issues and financial penalties.
