Frequently Asked Questions
What are some common challenges associated with import trade compliance?
Incorrect classification is a common challenge through inaccurate HS code assignments which can lead to discrepancies, improper duty payments and noncompliance, while evolving regulations may cause delays in customs clearance and shipment delivery. Additionally, miscalculating landed costs—such as insurance, duties, and taxes—can negatively impact your company’s profitability, and excessive customs broker fees can accumulate if electronic self-filing options are not utilized effectively.
How does an organization prevent customs violations?
Common Customs violations often involve failing to make valuation mistakes, applying incorrect HTS classifications or improperly claiming benefits under Free Trade Agreements or for U.S. goods returned without proper verification. These violations can be avoided by exercising reasonable care, thoroughly understanding the regulations, and regularly consulting the Informed Compliance Publications issued by Customs relevant to your business.
