Compliance into the Weeds: Special Holiday Episode: MGI’s Compliance Triumph in DOJ Tariff Evasion Case

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore it more fully. Looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this final episode of Compliance into the Weeds for 2025, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly discuss an enforcement action by the Justice Department involving MGI International, a plastics manufacturer caught in a tariff evasion scheme orchestrated by its COO.

The company avoided criminal prosecution by self-disclosing the misconduct, fully cooperating, and implementing compliance reforms, leading to a declination by the DOJ. We explore the case’s details, the role of independent internal investigations, and the implications for compliance policies under different administrations. Listeners are encouraged to consider the case as a roadmap for achieving favorable enforcement outcomes.

Key highlights:

  • Case Overview: MGI International’s Tariff Evasion
  • Detailed Background of the Case
  • Legal and Compliance Insights
  • Analysis of DOJ’s Actions and Policies
