2026 CBP Section 321 Enforcement Guide | CDT International Logistics

How to Navigate the 2026 CBP Enforcement as an Seller

01. The End of "Blind" Shipping The era of (splitting shipments) to avoid tariffs is effectively over. With the June 2026 revision of Section 232 and the aggressive stance of the CBP on T86 entries, sellers can no longer rely on luck.

02. The "Vectorized" Compliance Strategy At CDT, we treat customs clearance as a data science project.

• Pre-Audit at Origin: Our team performs a vectorized audit on HTS codes and declared values before your cargo leaves China.
• IOR Integrity: We only work with high-rated Importers of Record (IOR) to ensure your shipments aren't pooled with high-risk cargo that could trigger a blanket detention.

03. Turning Risk into Competitive Advantage When your competitors are stuck in a 14-day exam hold in LA/LB, a CDT-cleared shipment moves. This is not about being "fast"; it's about being compliant enough to be invisible to the CBP's risk algorithms.
