The new Customs and Border Protection e-Allegations website provides a venue for the public to report any suspected violations of trade laws or regulations related to the importing of goods into the United States.  These violations include but are not limited to false country of origin markings, health and safety issues, intellectual property rights, and trademark and copyright infringement.

The system allows anonymity for concerned citizens who have knowledge of trade violations that are damaging to the U.S. economy and the general public.

UGS customers with trademarked or copyrighted items should contact us immediately if they have knowledge of an illegal import of their product.  We will guide our customers through the e-Allegations website and follow-up to ensure our customer’s products are protected against knock-offs by competitors who then attempt to import these same products in the U.S.
