Lawyers for the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) said they have provided American Seafoods subsidiaries wrapped up in the controversial Bayside Program transportation route avenues to pause fines and free up millions of pounds of frozen seafood held up in the Port of Bayside.
On Friday, US Customs told an Alaska federal court that earlier in the week it offered American Seafoods subsidiaries Kloosterboer International Forwarding LLC (KIF) and Alaska Reefer Management LLC (ARM) a deal that for eight weeks US Customs would not issue any new notices of penalty, and would also "not ever issue [penalties] to trucking companies for transporting the 25 million pounds of seafood in the eight-week timeframe."
