According to CBP, on Oct. 19, officers were inspecting a shipment of steel wheels that were going to a company in Minneapolis
It was later learned the company in Thailand is not a registered manufacture with the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration and that the rims were inadmissible.
The value of the rims was believed to more than $47,500.
