Delegation of Authority to Acknowledge Waivers of the Statute of Limitations

Summary

U.S. Customs Headquarters has delegated authority to Fines, Penalties and Forfeitures Officers to acknowledge waivers of the statute of limitations from parties in certain customs cases, effective January 1, 2001, with exceptions for cases already referred to Customs Headquarters. This change aims to streamline the process of handling civil suits related to customs penalties and forfeitures.
