Show the answer and explanation

Answer: B. Within five business days of deciding to detain

19 CFR 133.42(b)(2)(i), revised by CBP Dec. 24-03 (89 FR 52373, June 24, 2024, effective August 23, 2024), requires CBP to notify the importer in writing within five business days from the decision to detain (see also 151.16(c)). The detention may last up to 30 days from presentation (133.42(b)(1)). Seven business days is the importer's window to show the goods are not piratical before CBP discloses unredacted information to the copyright owner. Source: 19 CFR 133.42(b)(1)-(2), 151.16(c) (eCFR, as at 7 Oct 2026); CBP Dec. 24-03, 89 FR 52373.

Common mistake

Mixing up CBP's five business days with the importer's seven business days.
