What this amendment would do

SA 6009, submitted by Mr. Grassley and Ms. Hassan, aims to change Section 628A of the Tariff Act of 1930. The purpose is to update how information is shared regarding suspected violations of intellectual property rights.

The amendment seeks to add and change the following:

  • It replaces the word "suspects" with "has a reasonable suspicion".

  • It expands the types of items included in information sharing to include "packing materials, containers" and labels.

  • It allows for the provision of nonpublic information about merchandise. This information may be generated by entities such as:

    • Online marketplaces or similar market platforms.
    • Express consignment operators.
    • Freight forwarders.
    • Other entities involved in the sale or importation of merchandise into the United States that provide, share with, or are obtained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

  • It requires that notification be provided when this nonpublic information is transmitted, following regulations prescribed by the Secretary.

  • It allows the Commissioner to determine if any other party with an interest in the merchandise should receive information.
