From 1 June 2026, the Department of Foreign Trade and Customs watch 274 customs codes (up from 194) jointly with US CBP for transshipment and false origin. Officials will brief USTR on 28-31 August 2026, and an AI risk tool (ROVERs Plus) is in preparation. Exporters to the US should make sure their origin documents, local content and production records are complete and traceable, because inspections and back-tracing of origin are expanding. The department says a rise in trade alone is not proof of wrongdoing, and honest businesses should not be burdened by unnecessary measures.
