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.

  • Priority trade issues

  • Customs audit triggers

  • Reasonable care

  • Record keeping

  • Risks of non-compliance

  • Liquidated damages and penalties

  • Prior disclosure

  • CTPAT enrollment and benefits

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. 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 address them for you.
