CSMS Message: 10-000127

On June 2, 2010, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will host a free webinar with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to learn more about new CPSC Notices of Detention.

CBP and CPSC have worked together over the past several months to develop revised interagency procedures for interdicting imports of products suspected of being in violation of health and safety standards established by authorities enforced by CPSC. CPSC will be implementing procedures for shipments subject to admissibility determination which will result in CPSC issuing notices of detentions to importers. Copies of these CPSC notices will also be sent to the importer's agents/brokers and CBP. These notices will provide the applicable law and regulation. Importers will be given the opportunity to introduce testimony, evidence and arguments relevant to the admissibility of the product including evidence that the product is not in violation of or is not covered by a CPSC regulation.

This webinar will take place 2:00 – 3:00 pm (EDT) on Wednesday June 2, 2010. The session will also be recorded and available on CBP's website for on-demand viewing at a later date. To participate in this live event, you must register for this event via the following link:
