Essentials of U.S. Import Compliance
Instructor:
Zainab Nasser
Product ID: 703139
- Duration: 90 Min
Why Should You Attend:
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) expects importers to understand and comply with import regulations. Employees who specifically deal with customs-related issues should be aware of these regulations in order to prevent violations and avoid the resulting penalties that can be levied. An import compliance plan is of little practical value unless implemented consistently across the enterprise. Many importers consult a licensed customs broker for help filing entries, particularly if they find the process complicated. Remember, however, that even when using a broker, the importer of record is ultimately responsible for the accuracy of the entry documentation and all applicable duties, taxes, and fees.
The importer must also follow all labeling, marking and recordkeeping requirements, and any trade restrictions that may affect the importation. What is unique to customs compliance is that its responsibilities are not limited to personnel in the shipping or procurement departments of a company. Instead, customs compliance is the responsibility of an entire corporation impacting everyone from Finance, Sales, Logistics, Research & Development, Shipping, Manufacturing, Legal, and the corporate leadership.
This comprehensive, information-packed webinar highlights the changes in the Customs Modernization Act of 1993 (Mod Act) that has shifted more accountability to the importer of record.
