Additionally, the bill includes measures to streamline the customs process, making it easier for businesses to comply with regulations and reducing the administrative burden associated with international trade. This includes provisions to improve communication between businesses and customs officials, as well as measures to simplify the paperwork required for customs clearance.
Overall, the Customs Business Fairness Act of 2023 aims to create a more equitable and efficient customs system for businesses engaged in international trade. By promoting fairness and transparency in the customs process, the bill seeks to support the growth and competitiveness of American businesses in the global marketplace.
