Chicago-based SEKO Logistics announced that the US Customs and Border Protection has conditionally reinstated the company's participation in two important international trade programs, although the specific violations leading to the suspensions have not been disclosed. SEKO is seeking unconditional reinstatements and claims that the lack of direct response from CBP has posed a significant threat to its business, reputation, and clients. This development is closely watched in the industry as customs brokers are rarely targeted in CBP crackdowns, particularly concerning the expedited customs clearance program for direct-to-consumer imports under $800 per day from Chinese companies like Shein, PDD Group's Temu, and ByteDance's TikTok Shop.
