A bill to expand the sharing of information with respect to suspected violations of intellectual property rights in trade.
7 August 2026 | Passed Senate with amendment (unanimous consent)
What's next: To the House (if and when it takes it up)
Summary: The bill would expand the authority of U.S. Customs and Border Protection to share information with trademark and copyright owners and other interested parties when it suspects goods being imported may violate intellectual property laws. It would broaden which parties can receive such information, allow CBP to share details about packaging and shipping containers in addition to the merchandise itself, and permit CBP to share nonpublic information obtained from online marketplaces and shipping companies to help determine whether imports are infringing.
