⚠️ Avoid IEEPA #tariff refund scams! ⚠️ Recently, importers have received fraudulent letters claiming to be from CBP, offering “refund assistance.” These letters are NOT official CBP communications - and interacting with them could threaten your business. Learn how to identify and avoid these #scams: content.govdelivery.com/acco…

CBP is pausing all construction activity in Big Bend National Park while I visit and conduct a personal, on-the-ground evaluation. CBP is firmly committed to protecting America,  and that includes our national treasures like Big Bend National Park (BBNP). We know the current and predictable national security threats and they are real.  Now over the next couple of days, I will join a small team to evaluate the terrain and listen to local leadership, community members and stakeholders to ensure that we secure our borders while simultaneously protecting BBNP for generations to come.

More than 170,000 items were seized during 521 separate enforcement actions or shipments, valued at over $10 million MSRP. And the #FIFAWorldCup games are just beginning. A historical sports event means an unprecedented volume of counterfeit sports merchandise being produced by criminals, and seized by @CBP. Seen here is an international trade analyst itemizing counterfeit merchandise from a recent seizure. #CBPxFIFA2026 is protecting the fans, securing the game. For more on counterfeits: go.dhs.gov/ZS6

Today we signed The Customs Reform Executive Order, putting America First for trade enforcement. It protects domestic industry from unfair competition, holds bad actors accountable, and reinforces that economic security is national security.
