EAPA interim measures split entries at the initiation date

Explain that when CBP finds reasonable suspicion of evasion in an EAPA investigation, it takes interim measures no later than 90 calendar days after initiation: unliquidated entries made on or after the initiation date have liquidation suspended, unliquidated entries made before that date have the liquidation period extended, CBP takes additional revenue-protection measures such as a single transaction bond, additional security or cash deposit, liquidated entries may be handled by separate measures, and parties are notified within five business days after the measures are taken. Interim measures rest on reasonable suspicion and are not the final evasion determination.
