Customs Violations Types

You should report any Customs violations. Once you find a violation, you should examine other entries to determine if there is a pattern of similar violations. Sometimes, these can be corrected as Post Summary Corrections or Protests if they fall within the applicable timeframe to have the entry corrected. If you find a systemic issue, you should submit a prior disclosure to Customs. It is always better to notify Customs of the error, rather than have Customs notify you.
