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.
