Please join us to hear Supervisory Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officer Michael Hebert of the Jones Act Division of Enforcement (JADE) talk about the 105-year-old federal statute, officially known as the Merchant Marine Act of 1920. JADE is a national unit that falls within the Office of Field Operations, and is headquartered in the historic New Orleans Custom House. It was created in 2016 due to Congressional concerns over the enforcement of the Jones Act. On a day-to-day basis, JADE assists CBP ports on issues involving coastwise trade laws, provides outreach to our external industry partners, provides awareness training and informal preliminary findings to industry partners on coastwise trade questions.
