The FPFO does not grant more relief on a supplemental petition. A section 1641 penalty assessed at more than $10,000 goes where?

  1. To the Chief of the Penalties Branch
  2. Back to the port director as a protest
  3. To the International Trade Commission
  4. To the importer's surety for a final decision
Show the answer

A. To the Chief of the Penalties Branch

If the FPFO does not grant more relief, the supplemental petition is forwarded to a designated Headquarters official. Penalties under 19 U.S.C. 1641 assessed at more than $10,000 go to the Chief of the Penalties Branch. An original Headquarters decision goes to the Director of the Border Security and Trade Compliance Division.
