Being confident in your compliance is one thing. Being prepared to demonstrate it is another.

Is your trade compliance program ready for closer scrutiny?

In this clip, Cindy Allen discusses comments indicating that the Department of Justice is working directly with CBP’s Centers—reviewing some Form 28 and 29 responses and helping draft questionnaires.

She connects that coordination, targeting centers, and ACE data to what she describes as a move toward a “zero-trust” enforcement environment. Her central question: Can your compliance program support your decisions when they’re challenged?

Cindy also encourages trade professionals to revisit TFTEA and the Customs Mod Act, looking at what the statutes actually say rather than relying on assumptions about compliance, outreach, and partnerships.
