respondents submit information about the merchandise involved, a
specification of the false statements or omissions, and what the true

The information is to be used by CBP officers to verify and
validate the commission of a violation of 19 U.S.C. 1592 or 19 U.S.C.
1593a by the disclosing party. A valid prior disclosure will entitle
the disclosing party to reduced penalties pursuant to 19 U.S.C.
1592(c)(4) or 19 U.S.C. 1593a(c)(3). A prior disclosure may be
submitted orally or in writing to CBP. In the case of an oral
disclosure, the disclosing party shall confirm the
[[Page 22168]]
disclosure in writing within 10 days of the date of the oral
disclosure. A written prior disclosure must be addressed to the
Commissioner of Customs, have conspicuously printed on the face of the
envelope the words ``prior disclosure,'' and be presented to a Customs
officer at the Customs port of entry or a Center of the disclosed
violation.
