The U.S. government plans to combat tariff evasion through criminal measures.

Jin10 Data, July 24 News, according to foreign media reports, U.S. federal prosecutors are preparing to bring criminal charges against companies and individuals attempting to evade U.S. tariffs. For a long time, these issues have generally been handled through fines or civil settlements, rarely through criminal prosecutions. But now, the U.S. Department of Justice has stated that it will add "important personnel" to a new division focusing on trade fraud and other corporate crimes. Meanwhile, prosecutors in U.S. attorney's offices have been seeking trading records involving foreign goods during the Biden administration, as they hope to file cases regarding this—developing potential plans to prosecute those accused of evading new tariffs. The head of the U.S. Department of Justice's Criminal Division, Galioti, stated, "While some negligent acts or administrative errors may be more suited for civil handling, criminal enforcement is appropriate for serious violations."
