Abstract: The Prior Disclosure program establishes a method for a potential violator to disclose to CBP that they have committed an error or a violation with respect to the legal requirements of entering merchandise into the United States, such as underpaid tariffs or duties, or misclassified merchandise, or regarding the payment or credit of any drawback claim. The procedure for making a prior disclosure is set forth in 19 CFR 162.74. This provision requires that respondents submit information about the merchandise involved, a specification of the false statements or omissions, and what the true and accurate information should be. A valid prior disclosure will entitle the disclosing party to the reduced penalties pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1592(c)(4) or 19 U.S.C. 1593a(c)(3).
The respondents to this information collection are members of the trade community who are familiar with CBP regulations.
The information is to be used by CBP officers to verify and validate the commission of a violation of 19 U.S.C. 1592 or 19 U.S.C. 1593a by the disclosing party. A valid prior disclosure will entitle the disclosing party to reduced penalties pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1592(c)(4) or 19 U.S.C. 1593a(c)(3). A prior disclosure may be submitted orally or in writing to CBP. In the case of an oral disclosure, the disclosing party shall confirm the disclosure in writing within 10 days of the date of the oral disclosure. A written prior disclosure must be addressed to the Commissioner of Customs, have conspicuously printed on the face of the envelope the words "prior disclosure," and be presented to a Customs officer at the Customs port of entry or a Center of the disclosed violation.
