The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently announced the launch of a new initiative focused on targeting tariff evasion and other fraudulent efforts to avoid customs duties at the U.S. border. In the announcement, the DOJ and DHS encourage whistleblowers to come forward and report customs fraud through either the DOJ Criminal Division’s Corporate Whistleblower Program or qui tam lawsuits under the False Claims Act.
