Despite having received “significant” feedback from industry, including through comments, public workshops and meetings of a CBP Advisory Committee on Commercial Operations (COAC) working group, CPSC has so far “refused to deviate from original e-filing requirements” contained in a controversial proposed rule, she told the commissioners.
