Topics Include

In-depth compliance verifications by customs agencies in recent years require that both importers and exporters establish adequate internal controls as well as maintain well-documented compliance procedures so in Part 2 you will understand voluntary disclosure, reasonable care and the various types of audits to which your company will be subject. By taking Part 2 not only will you build upon your customs compliance foundation by diving deeper into the Part 1 topics but most crucially your take away will be a better understanding of what to do and what to expect when your company is selected for a trade compliance verification - aka a customs audit.

  • Trade compliance verifications

  • Customs audit triggers

  • Reasonable care

  • Record keeping

  • Risks of non-compliance

  • Monetary penalties and delays

  • Voluntary disclosure

FAQ

When you open that trade compliance verification notification in the mail your first question is probably, "Now what?" Your first step should always be to call your customs broker, but aside from that attending this course is a great resource to get answers to all those questions that are about to start flowing your way. Even just to begin with many questions arise from setting out to learn how to import your goods across international borders and at times it seems like the answers you find only raise more questions. We've put together some preliminary questions that this course will directly answer and encourage you to bring your questions to our expert who will gladly field them for you.

  • My company was selected for a Canada Customs Audit, now what?

  • What is the importer responsible for?

  • What does a customs broker do for you during an audit?

  • How do I know if our customs compliance is adequate?

  • What is reasonable care?

  • What questions should I be asking my customs broker?

  • How do I fix an error on an old entry submitted to customs?
