The memorandum calls for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to use applicable laws to seize counterfeits and impose the maximum civil penalties on “any e-commerce platform that directs, assists with, or is in any way concerned in the importation into the United States of counterfeit goods.” It also directs DHS to develop a legislative proposal within 120 days to promote the policy objectives of the memorandum.
