Title: Prior Disclosure.

Abstract: The Prior Disclosure program establishes a method for a
potential violator to disclose to CBP that they have committed an error

disclosure is set forth in 19 CFR 162.74 which requires that
respondents submit information about the merchandise involved, a
specification of the false statements or omissions, and what the true
and accurate information should be. A valid prior disclosure will
entitle the disclosing party to the reduced penalties pursuant to 19
U.S.C. 1592(c)(4).

information collection with no change to the burden hours or to the
information collected.
