CBP Extends Comments on Expanding Information Sharing on Suspected Infringement

Customs and Border Protection is delaying to Nov. 15 comments on its proposal to amend regulations to allow disclosure of information to trademark holders on voluntarily abandoned shipments, says Tuesday's Federal Register notice. The proposed rule would align information sharing procedures for voluntarily abandoned merchandise with procedures for seized merchandise, allowing CBP to better address trademark infringement by way of e-commerce shipments. Comments were due Monday.
