Where can I find information on penalties for Foreign Trade Regulations violations?
The FTR, Subpart H, sections 30.70 - 30.72, presents the penalties that may be imposed for both civil and criminal violations. These violations include, but are not limited to, delayed filing, failure to file, filing false or misleading information and/or using the AES to further any illegal activity. A civil penalty is a monetary penalty imposed on a U.S. Principal Party in Interest, authorized agent, carrier, or other parties to the transaction for violating any part of the FTR. The penalties range from $1,100 to $10,000. Civil penalties imposed under the FTR may be remitted or mitigated, if the penalties were incurred without willful negligence or fraud or other circumstances exist that justify a remission or mitigation. A criminal penalty is when any person willfully violates or attempts to violate any part of the FTR. The criminal penalty includes fines not to exceed $10,000, and/or imprisonment for not more than five (5) years, and/or forfeitures.
