The first question CBP will ask is whether or not you have retained an expert (lawyer, customs broker, accountant, or customs consultant) to assist you in complying with CBP requirements. If this answer is no, and you want to import, you need to get an expert, or the penalties for non-compliance can be severe. 19 U.S.C. 1592 is the statute CBP references when issuing penalties for negligence, gross negligence or fraud \u2013 depending on the degree of culpability CBP believes you had at the time of your non-compliance.
