What this amendment would do

SA 6767, proposed by Mr. Moreno for Mr. Grassley, aims to expand how information is shared regarding suspected violations of intellectual property rights in trade. It proposes to replace the word "suspects" with "has a reasonable suspicion" and adds packing materials and containers to the list of items associated with merchandise packaging.

The amendment adds the following changes to the Tariff Act of 1930:

  • It allows for the provision of nonpublic information about merchandise to a person if that information was generated by entities such as online marketplaces, freight forwarders, express consignment operators, or others involved in the sale or importation of goods into the United States and obtained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

  • It requires that the person be notified of the transmitted nonpublic information according to regulations prescribed by the Secretary.

  • It expands the parties who can receive information to include any other party with an interest in the merchandise, as determined by the Commissioner.
