Professional Development
Are you a professional designate? Whether you’re a CCS, CES, CTCS, MCS, MES, a legal, accounting, trade or logistics professional we’ve got your annual maintenance points and/or study material for your continuing education here. With this course you will earn 5 CCS / CTCS points from CSCB and 3 CCS points from NEI towards your designation(s). NOTE: To earn these points, you must tune into part 1 and 2 of this on-demand series as well as the live expert roundtable linked here.

Who Should Attend?
The material in this course is relevant to parties responsible for customs documentation and audits within your company's US import process or if you're looking for professional development credit. Whether you are the Owner, Manager, Supervisor, Coordinator or Logistics staff of a company importing into the US, under review by CBP, with newly hired staff, or needing points for your professional designation then this is for you.
Topics Include
Understanding your responsibilities can be the difference between keeping and losing your importing privileges. In-depth compliance verifications by customs agencies require that both importers and exporters maintain well-documented compliance procedures and establish adequate internal controls so in Part 2 we teach you how to do just that. You will learn about prior disclosure, reasonable care and the various types of audits your company will be subject to if found non-compliant. 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.
