Due Diligence and Third Party Auditors
If your company imports products into the U.S., you are legally required by U.S. Customs (CBP) to exercise "reasonable care" and "due diligence" regarding all of your import shipments. Not only are you required to ensure the proper HTS classification is used, you are also liable for compliance with over 45 other U.S. Federal Government Agencies. "Ignorance of the law is no excuse" according to CBP, and importers that fail to take the appropriate steps face significant penalties and can even lose their right to import into the U.S.
Some importers rely solely on the Customs Broker, and while Customs Brokers are licensed and usually experienced and knowledgeable, it is often wise to add "another set of eyes" to the process. Having a third party review your import shipments and processes is often money well spent and in some cases these audits can lead to additional cost saving opportunities.
