More Customs data on suspected counterfeits

If enacted, U.S. Customs and Border Protection would share more nonpublic trade information in suspected intellectual property cases. Sharing would require that a person has a reasonable suspicion of a violation. Customs would be able to share images and details of the goods, their packaging, packing materials, containers, and labels. Online marketplaces, express shippers, freight forwarders, and others involved in sales or imports would be eligible to receive this information. The Commissioner could also allow sharing with any party that has an interest in the goods. Customs would share only information it already has and would notify recipients under rules set by the Secretary. These changes would take effect upon enactment.
