Fraud – U.S. Customs Declarations and Labeling

by on June 24, 2008

Customs

Most goods imported into the U.S. are subject to customs duties. Companies that undervalue imports to lower the amount of customs duties they have to pay, or who underpay customs duties through other fraudulent schemes, are liable under the False Claims Act.

Mislabeling, or labeling in an ambigous manner, in order to avoid proper import and custom duties, is also subject to False Claims Acts reporting.
