Customs Compliance and Duty Audit
Our customs audit service reviews your historical import declarations to identify potential overpayments, incorrect tariff classifications, missed Tariff Concession Orders, Free Trade Agreement opportunities, and other customs-related errors.
In many cases, importers may be eligible to recover customs duty paid on past shipments. Depending on the circumstances, refund claims may be available for entries lodged within the previous four years, while broader record reviews can help identify recurring issues across a longer trading history.
The audit may include:
- Reviewing tariff classifications and duty rates applied
- Identifying available Tariff Concession Orders
- Checking eligibility for Free Trade Agreement benefits
- Reviewing customs values, origin declarations, and supporting documentation
- Identifying incorrect or duplicated customs entries
- Assessing potential duty refunds and future savings
- Recommending improvements to reduce compliance risk
A detailed customs audit can generate significant savings while also helping importers improve compliance and avoid repeating costly errors in future shipments.
