EXCLUSIVE — U.S. Customs and Border Protection issued an enforcement action against Milwaukee Tool, a Wisconsin-based manufacturing company, last year, which persons familiar with the matter say could foreshadow criminal charges against the company or its employees for tariff evasion.

Representatives for Milwaukee Tool, however, dispute that CBP investigated the company, saying they are not aware of any pending enforcement action from the Trump administration.
