    CBP announced that it has uncovered more than $1 billion in additional duties owed under the Enforce and Protect Act, a first in the program's 10-year history and 300% above the program's annual average. CBP issued 14 notices of determination in 2026 covering products including solar cells, tow-behind lawn groomers, lumber, pipes, xanthan gum, metal lockers and wooden furniture imported from countries across the globe, and investigators traveled to Mexico, Thailand, India, New Zealand and the United Kingdom to inspect production facilities. The agency says EAPA investigations are required by statute to conclude within one year.
