Description

When U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) detains or seizes a shipment, importers are often forced to make fast, high-stakes decisions with limited information. Understanding the difference between a detention and a seizure and knowing how to respond can mean the difference between recovering your goods or facing permanent loss and additional penalties. This webinar provides a practical roadmap for navigating CBP enforcement actions and choosing the most appropriate response strategy.
Our presenters will walk through the procedural steps, legal options, and cost considerations involved in detentions and seizures, including how to evaluate whether to file a petition, submit an offer in compromise, or pursue a claim and cost bond.
