CBP released a list of e-commerce goals and its strategic plan on March 6. The agency "must adapt to the changing ways business is conducted due to the growth of low-value packages, which e-commerce primarily drives," it said in the two-page fact sheet. CBP's first goal will be to "review existing legal and regulatory authorities" and to develop a plan to incentivize compliance, it said. The agency will also look to "enable risk-based enforcement to increase operational efficiency" and "determine highest risk e-commerce packages utilizing a counter network approach including state-of-the-art techniques and technology." The third goal will be to strengthen e-commerce compliance through "enforcement mechanisms" and an "e-commerce known shipper program." The fourth goal involves leading "standards and best practices development with the interagency and global customs community," CBP said.
