CBP's Machinery Center of Excellence and Expertise conducted targeting efforts resulting in the seizure of infant products valued at just over $61,000 that contained high lead paint content and choking hazards, the agency announced Oct. 23. In July, the center targeted a shipment with cargo descriptions of luggage carts, metal furniture mountings and “other” seats headed for Memphis. Upon inspecting the shipment, import specialists and Port of Memphis CBP officers found the items were strollers, swings and highchairs for infants.
In September, CBP flagged 425 shipments, valued at more than $65 million, for suspected use of forced labor, the agency said in a monthly update this week. This represents an increase, in terms of total value, from August, when CBP stopped 400 shipments valued at more than $53 million for the same reason (see 2409170009).
