Compliance Consulting
Compliance is not a recommendation, it is a mandate!
Pursuant to the Customs Modernization Act of 1993, it is now the responsibility of the importer of record (IOR) to use "reasonable care to enter, classify and value imported merchandise, and to provide any other information necessary to enable CBP to properly assess duties, collect accurate statistics, and determine whether any other applicable legal requirement is met."
Clearing shipments across international borders is easy. The hard part is ensuring that your imports are in compliance with an intimidating line-up of regulations and laws from a long list of government agencies and bureaus. That's why we have provided below links to help you become more educated about and familiar with the entire shipping process.
