On June 3, 2026 President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order directing the Secretary of Homeland Security to implement reforms aimed at improving U.S. customs enforcement. The order requires the Secretary to revise importer‑of‑record regulations, increase bond requirements, and mandate detailed data disclosure for all formal and informal entries. It bars foreign importers from filing informal entries and imposes stricter conditions on foreign importers for formal entries, including participation in the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism program. The order also establishes a “good standing” status for importers, expands audit and enforcement powers, sets minimum penalty floors, and calls for annual transparency reports. Within 90–180 days, the Secretary must submit reports and legislative recommendations to strengthen enforcement.
