Why Should You Attend:
Declaring the correct customs value at the time of entry is critical for U.S. importers. Importers have a statutory obligation (19 U.S.C. § 1484) to declare the correct value of goods to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at the time of entry, however, the rules on customs valuation can be confusing and complex in their application. The failure to declare the correct customs value can lead to unexpected increases in duties and fees, and monetary penalties. Errors in customs valuation can also lead to intrusive, and expense, audits by U.S. Customs that can stretch back for up to five years. Understanding the rules on customs valuation enables importers accurately determine landed costs and reduce duties and fees by correctly taking advantage of allowable reductions in entered values.This webinar will help attendees understand and identify critical areas of customs valuation that are often overlooked and or misunderstood by importers and customs brokers.
