관세청, 신고 포상금 ‘상한액 전면 폐지’ 등 대대적 개편

Removing the cap on informant rewards raises the payoff for insiders, competitors and former employees to report customs violations. Undervaluation, false origin marking, price manipulation and abuse of quota-tariff recommendations are now exposed not only through customs inspection but through third-party tips. Sellers using split shipments under de minimis thresholds, or handling brands prone to counterfeit claims, carry the widest exposure. Review whether declared invoice values match actual settlement amounts, and whether HS classification and origin claims are backed by retained documentation. If you clear goods based on data supplied by third-party sellers, define liability for inaccurate data explicitly in your contracts.
