Seminar: U.S. Customs Compliance and Audit

Know What to Expect Rather than Trigger Costly Delays

Importing and exporting commercial goods into and out of the United States can be a complex endeavour. It requires a good understanding of various U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and partner government agency (PGA) regulations. In this full-day seminar (half customs compliance and half customs audit) we will focus on the differences between voluntary and enforced compliance, the definition and expectation of “reasonable care”, the potential monetary risks of non-compliance, required documentation and more. Throughout the day, you will learn the importance of complying with customs regulations and what you can do to assure that you meet all of the requirements governing the movement of commercial goods. Whether you are importing or exporting as a resident or non-resident importer (NRI), you should be aware that at some point your business is likely to be selected for a customs audit thus making it imperative that you are in control of your business’ customs process.
