What Does This Notice Mean?<\/h2>\n

Another benefit to U.S. trademark owners that record their trademark with U.S. Customs is that U.S. Customs has the authority to issue monetary fines against anyone who facilitates the attempted introduction into the U.S. of seized and forfeited counterfeit merchandise. It is the anti-counterfeiting consumer protection act which provides authority for U.S. Customs to impose civil fines pursuant to 19 U.S.C. \u00a7 1526(F), in addition to the seizure and forfeiture of imported merchandise bearing counterfeit marks. The parties subject to monetary fines are any person who \u201cdirects, assists financially or otherwise, or aids and abets the importation of merchandise.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S. Customs publishes a guidance document entitled \u201cWhat Every Member of the Trade Community Should Know About: Mitigation Guidelines: Fines, Penalties, Forfeitures and Liquidated Damages.\u201d The relevant portion of the guidance document discussing U.S. Customs authority to issue a fine in various situations is copied below:
