Outsourced Customs Compliance Services

All companies must be customs compliant. Large businesses usually have in-house customs compliance personnel on a full-time basis. This is not always cost-effective for smaller companies that want to be customs compliant as well. Often the amount of import shipments just doesn’t justify hiring someone. We can help with Corporate Compliance Activity, ensuring all documents are prepared and filed with CBP using “reasonable care.” We will provide accurate, timely, cost-effective customs compliance services customized to your business operations, so you can focus on your business growth.

  • HTS Classification

Did you know that you are responsible for the HTS codes your customs broker is using? Since the Customs Modernization Act (commonly known as the Mod Act) of 1993, US Customs imposed on importers the duty to exercise reasonable care in the accuracy of the HTS codes of their merchandise.  We are here to ensure you are using the correct HTS classifications.

  • Binding Ruling

Although the HTS contains over 10,000 codes, not all products are defined in the schedule. When in doubt, it is always a good idea to go through the process to get a US Customs  ruling. Your company could save thousands of dollars by obtaining US Customs permission to use a particular classification for your products as they may agree with it. We can do that for you.

  • Import Manual

US Customs highly recommend that all importers should have an import manual, where all the customs compliance guidelines and processes can be found. A good compliance program is one that covers all the significant risk areas and is tailored to the company needs. Most companies have specific areas that present the highest risks, and these are the areas we should address first.  We can help you develop and implement a customs compliance import manual for your company. 

  • Customs Audits

Importers can be audited by US Customs at anytime. We can help you prepare for it, regardless of the stage of the audit your company is in. We will analyze the areas of risk and implement strategies to reduce customs liabilities.
