    • About 3000 importers requested extended deadlines for duty payment during the Covid-19 outbreak
    • CBP completed 231 audits in the first third of this year, when they only did twice that many in all of 2020.
    • Cargo holds for WRO’s have gone from 6 to 12 to 324 to 967 (2018 to 2021), and we’ve got another 4 months to go this year.
