Compliance Week (subscription required) quoted remarks from partners Christopher Timura and Matt Axelrod on customs fraud enforcement made on a recent webcast.

“One of the things that has been most surprising for a lot of people is how critical and relevant tariffs have become for legal counsel, in-house counsel, and compliance leads,” Chris said.

Matt spoke about U.S. Department of Justice’s Corporate Whistleblower Awards Pilot Program, which encourages the reporting of trade, tariff, and customs fraud and which, he said, “provides another powerful vector for the government to learn of potential violations.”
