15 Jul 2026 New York Packaging II LLC (Redi-Bag USA)Redi-Bag USA: 7.3 million USD – “Made in China” marking on carrier bags concealed USACustoms €6.4m

The packaging supplier allegedly imported plastic carrier bags made in China via Hong Kong and declared them as goods from Hong Kong in order to evade anti-dumping duties of up to 77.57%. According to the US Department of Justice (DOJ), the company had employees cover up “Made in China” markings, concealed the origin from its customs broker and cancelled orders that were due to be inspected; the settlement of 7.3 million USD (a joint payment with a further settling party) resolves a whistleblower lawsuit.

What organisations can take from it

Never instruct staff to conceal origin markings – doing so turns a tariff issue into deliberate customs fraud; give employees a reporting channel for such instructions.

New York aviation products supplier SkyGeek Logistics, Inc. is paying USD 22,172 under a settlement with OFAC for six apparent violations of the Russia sanctions. According to OFAC's findings, between January and March 2024 the company sent four shipments worth USD 3,429.76 to two UAE-based companies and attempted two refunds totalling USD 17,511.63, although both had previously been added to the SDN List for their role in Russia's aerospace and technology sectors. Customers were initially not rescreened before refunds. OFAC treated the apparent violations as non-egregious and four of the six transactions as voluntarily self-disclosed; the base penalties totalled USD 27,715.
