Collaboration Crushes Trade Fraud
Guest Post from Customs and Border Protection
The Census Bureau periodically works with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to communicate important information to the trade community. Here is one of a series of posts that provides this information.
Have you ever wondered why you have to put the Vehicle Identification Number in your Electronic Export Information to the Automated Export System when reporting a vehicle?
Doing so helps U.S. Customs and Border Protection identify and shut down the trade of unsafe or illegal goods. Agencies across the federal government and across the globe collaborate to reduce trade fraud. Through Operation Atlantic, the United States and the United Kingdom have partnered to address illegal vehicle shipments. This article from Frontline highlights this partnership and details one way in which government agencies are collaborating in an effort to keep commerce strong and people safe.
