A bill to amend the Tariff Act of 1930 to increase accountability relating to articles receiving exemptions from duties for de minimis entries and to require regulations on enhanced data collection with respect to such entries, and for other purposes.

Bill 118 s 4082, also known as the "De Minimis Entry Accountability Act," aims to amend the Tariff Act of 1930 in order to increase accountability for articles that receive exemptions from duties for de minimis entries. De minimis entries refer to goods that are imported into the United States with a declared value below a certain threshold, currently set at $800.

The bill seeks to require regulations that will enhance data collection for these de minimis entries, ensuring that accurate information is provided for these goods. This will help to prevent abuse of the de minimis entry system and ensure that duties are properly assessed on imported goods.

In addition to increasing accountability for de minimis entries, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to trade and customs enforcement. These provisions are aimed at improving the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the US customs system. Overall, Bill 118 s 4082 is focused on strengthening accountability and data collection for de minimis entries, as well as enhancing trade and customs enforcement measures. It is intended to ensure that the US customs system operates effectively and efficiently in regulating imported goods.
