Got a letter from customs do I answer yes?
Applying for Global entry and this one question has me stumped on what to put. " Have you ever been found in violation of customs laws" I got a letter once from boarder and security about a 9 months ago about buying fake raybans. So would that mean I answer yes or are they looking for something else where I had to pay fine? Just wanted to check what the best course of action would be.

Answer "no".
Receiving a letter does not amount to being found in violation. IANAL but what I would do. (Those raybans were bought in goodwill, rite?) |
Take a look at this thread:

All depends on what the letter said. Did it even propose a violation which may now be pending?
You may be assured that because it was issued by CBP, it will show up when CBP runs your background for GE. I would answer the question truthfully and then bring a copy of the letter with me. If the issue arises, either directly or even in a general way, e.g. "is there anything else you want to say," you can provide the full facts and a copy of the letter. |
I think you are NO GO FOR GOES

Just out of the blue, never bought raybans, never had any coversations with CBP about raybans, no nothing- just an odd letter 'about' raybans with no possible linkage to anything you might have ever done? Sheesh |
OP-- must be more to this story.
Randomly had open/used Raybans in a personal sunglass case in your bag that they told you may be fake? or, had multiple new pairs for 'gifts' with no proof of purchase, or told Customs they were a new purchase bragging about the unbelievable price paid. I suspect it is more along these lines... (every time I hear someone who runs into charges for buying a knockoff purse etc, I assume it's going to be over a brand new item aquired on that very trip rather than one showing wear and tear from many trips plus normal usage). |

Until OP returns with the specifics of the letter and how it came about, there is absolutely no way to advise him on this.
