U.S. Customs Audit & Compliance Assessment Training

Dates & Locations for one-day program
Agenda
Registration Information

 


Be prepared for the new Customs risk-based approach to importer audits and security concerns – Proper understanding of the regulations will help you avoid audits and penalties!


Customs requires importers to have written Policy and Procedures for Recordkeeping and Customs compliance.  New documentation procedures, drawback, and recordkeeping penalties were established under the Customs Modernization Act.  Non compliance can result in stiff penalties, even disruption of business operations.  This intensive 1-Day workshop will show you how to be prepared.

Benefits of Attending

  • Learn how a Focused Assessment differs from a Compliance Assessment
  • Protect your company from fines and penalties and learn what it means to exercise “reasonable care”
  • Become knowledgeable in how to establish “Standard Operating Procedures” in your company
  • Avoid being a “high risk” importer and subjecting your company to costly cargo-delays
  • Learn how a compliance manager can set up internal controls
  • Recognize and avoid the most common importer errors
  • Set up a solid recordkeeping system, with your company to avoid fines and penalties under the Customs Modernization Act
  •  Resolve noncompliant areas found in an audit
  • Secure your supply chain without interrupting business flow.  Discover the advantages to participating in Customs-Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) and Importer’s Self-Assessment (ISA)
