U.S. Customs Compliance is a Critical Issue.
Following the passage of the Customs
Modernization and Informed Compliance
Act (The "Mod Act") on December 8, 1993,
the number of reviews and audits of
importers Customs entry submissions by
the U.S. Customs Service has
dramatically increased.
In your company:
- What level of training and expertise
does your internal Customs
compliance manager possess?
- What single individual is
responsible for receiving U.S.
Customs inquires?
- How do you process these
requests for information?
Are you absolutely certain all
imported goods (or exported
goods if appropriate) are classified
correctly and that the correct duty is
paid?
- Are your entries ever delayed at
U.S. Customs?
- How do you record "liquidation
notices"?
- Does your company have its own
U.S. Customs Compliance Manual - formal documented
processes should U.S. Customs inquire?
Accountabilities, responsibilities and liabilities have changed
significantly making the "importer of record" the focus of
attention and the entity subject to fines and penalties.
Your Customs Broker is not responsible for your compliance
with U.S. Customs Regulations.
When it approved the Mod Act and placed the "Reasonable
Care" burden on the importers, Congress indicated that
importers can demonstrate the exercise of "Reasonable Care"
by using licensed experts such as Franklin Traffic Service, Inc.
consultants for assistance.
Currently we are in the "enforced compliance" phase where
U.S. Customs demands compliance and holds Importer of
Record totally responsible to being compliant with the myriad of
regulations in the Act.
The Importer of Record has complete and sole responsibility
for compliance with all U.S. Customs documentation, record
keeping, duty classification and payment, and Homeland
Security requirements.
It is virtually impossible to ensure compliance with the myriad of
documentation, record keeping and entry rules and regulations
unless you constantly upgrade your knowledge base.
Is your company C-TPAT certified?
We provide compliance consulting, simulated customs audits,
internal awareness seminars (tailored to the individual client) in

the elevation of a terror alert.
