Customs Trade Verification Review Support Program
H.S. Classification, Origin, & Valuation Government Audits.
Who Does This Program Help?
A Customs Administration will utilize both random and targeted verification reviews (audits) to determine if you are compliant with the regulations, they are accountable to enforce.
These verification reviews focus on three key areas of your customs operation.
These are:
- The H.S. Classifications and subsequent duty rates used for your importations.
- The Country of Origin declarations you made on behalf of the products you imported.
- The Valuation of the goods you declared to Customs.
If you are currently under one or more verification review(s) or have recently received a final report and do not agree with the government's findings, then this program and our team can help.
How Does This Program Work?
Depending on which stage of the Verification Review you are at, the program is designed to provide you with immediate support.
Trade Verification Notice Stage
If you have recently been advised that a verification review will be starting shortly, our team will review the government's verification review process with you and what your team can expect.
Depending on your requirements, you can designate our team to manage the verification process with the government or simply keep us in the background, supporting your team as you require throughout the verification review.
Active Verification Review Stage
If you are in the middle of a verification review and not pleased with the progression of the review and/or uncomfortable with the interaction between Customs and your team, our team can provide you with support to ensure Customs is not overreaching or taking liberties during their verification review.
Interim Report Stage
At this stage, the results of the verification review are documented, and you are provided an opportunity to respond.
Our team will analyze the report and review with your team the options available to you based on the government’s findings.
Final Report & Appeal Stage
If you have received a final report and wish to appeal its conclusions and directions, our team will analyze your report and review the options available with your team.
Reporting and Visibility
Our interactive and customizable reporting provides you with full visibility and transparency to monitor our progress in real-time.
We will allow you to provide us feedback or ask us any questions when it is convenient for you.
