U.S. businesses propose hiding trade data used to trace abuse
A group of major U.S. businesses wants the government to hide critical import data -- a move trade experts say would make it more difficult for Americans to link the products they buy to labor abuse overseas.
The proposal, if adopted, would shroud in secrecy customs data on ocean-going freight responsible for about half of the $2.7 trillion in goods entering the U.S. every year. Rail, truck and air cargo is already shielded from public disclosure under U.S. trade law. But one of CBP's stated goals in creating what it has dubbed a"21st Century Customs Framework" is to boost visibility into global supply chains, support ethical sourcing practices and level the playing field for domestic U.S. manufacturers.
In its 34-page presentation, the business advisory panel said its goal in further restricting access to customs data is to protect confidential business information from"data breaches" that it says"have become more commonplace, severe and consequential." The proposal to make vessel data confidential comes as American companies are under increasing pressure from consumers to provide greater transparency regarding their sourcing practices, something reflected in the ambitious language found in many corporate social responsibility statements.
