If you are looking for answer of these questions, you would certainly benefit by attending this seminar:
- My companies imports are mostly done by FedEx or UPS and the shipper pays the freight. I don’t think I have to worry about any of this but my boss told me to attend anyway. Why do I need to worry about any of this if those companies are taking care of it?
- Our Customs Broker takes care of all this but I was told I have to learn more anyway. I just keep track of the broker invoices and make sure we only pay the invoices where we have the records, Isn’t that good enough?
- We have thousands of parts that need to be classified and there are only two of us doing the classifications. Can’t we just classify all the products in one product family the same?
- Our company makes lots of little changes to the products we import. There’s no way I can keep up so it’s ok to assume that these changes don’t affect the classifications, right?
- We always buy Ex Works. My broker always just uses the value on the invoice. That’s the transaction value so I think that’s the end of the problem, but I was told that there might be other things to worry about. How can I be sure that we’re doing it right?
- I know my company has business all over the world but no of the goods we import are from companies with the same company name. Unless it’s the same name, I think they aren’t related parties. In that case, I think we can just use the value on the invoice but can you help me be sure?
- We buy most of the products we sell from suppliers in the United States so we aren’t importing very much at all. None of our products have labels on them and sometimes our US customers ask for NAFTA Certificates of Origin. Can we just label the products and provided a certificate that says “Made in the US” since we bought the goods here?
- And more….
