Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 5 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
End country exclusions for mail data
If enacted, this would end the authority to exclude any country from the 100% advance mail data rule five years after enactment. More international mail would need to send origin and shipping data to U.S. authorities.
More sharing and CBP officer training
If enacted, DHS could share and receive information with allied governments about shippers tied to illegal opioids and precursors, consistent with law and in consultation with the State Department. CBP would also be required to train officers on detecting illicit synthetic opioids, related trends, and the use of detection equipment.
New annual oversight and GAO review
If enacted, DHS would must report to specific congressional committees within one year and every year after on compliance with advance mail data rules. The unclassified report may be public and can include a classified annex. The Comptroller General would also deliver a separate evaluation within one year on risks, compliance differences, and use of country exclusions.
New penalties for false origin claims
If enacted, this would make knowingly lying about a package's country of origin in required mail data a federal crime. A person could face a fine, up to five years in prison, or both. DHS could also seize and forfeit such international mail like other unlawful merchandise.
Public-private tech partnerships to trace drugs
If enacted, DHS, the Justice Department, and the Postmaster General may form public-private partnerships with parcel and tech companies. They could build technology and processes to identify where fentanyl, synthetic opioids, other drugs, and precursors come from in international parcels.
