Dispatches from Laredo

Here are a couple good articles on enforcement activity in Laredo. Both involve the use of in-bond procedures to defraud either the U.S. or Mexico. In one case, Chinese fabric moving in-bond to Mexico was improperly manipulated to change its origin labeling to indicate that it was of U.S.-origin. False NAFTA certificates were also issued. In the other case, in-bond merchandise destined for Mexico was diverted to the U.S. and false pedimentos were used to show export.

Thanks to the reader who tipped me to these stories.
