President Trump signed the 'Strengthening Customs Enforcement' executive order on June 3, directing CBP to overhaul importer-of-record vetting, bonding, and accountability. Foreign importers face new restrictions including a ban on informal entry and continuous bond usage without CTPAT certification. The order mandates higher minimum surety bonds, full supply chain disclosure including foreign export documentation within 90 days, and sets minimum penalty floors at 50% of assessed fines for non-compliance, with graded implementation through December 2026.
