CBP to Increase Civil Monetary Penalties for Inflation

CBP will make inflationary adjustments for civil monetary penalties related to three types of violations, the agency said in a final rule. The adjustments apply to penalties for "dealing in or using an empty stamped imported liquor container after it has already been used once" and the use of non-coastwise qualified vessels for transportation and towing, it said. The penalties were mistakenly left out of previous Department of Homeland Security rulemakings, it said.
