On May 4, the Coalition for a Prosperous America and the Alliance for Trade EnforcementNOW sent a letter to the House Judiciary Committee urging passage of the Protecting American Industry and Labor from International Trade Crimes Act (PAIL Act), a bipartisan, bicameral bill that would strengthen the Department of Justice’s enforcement against trade-related crimes.
19 companies, including KCMA and 3 KCMA members co-signed the letter of support. American manufacturers, farmers, and workers are losing ground every day to foreign competitors who cheat their way into the U.S. market through customs fraud schemes including transshipment, undervaluation and misclassification, and our enforcement infrastructure has not kept pace with the scale of the problem.
