The Customs Modernization Act requires that a company
use reasonable care standards in carrying out its operations. Every
diligent importer must be aware of what is expected by the Bureau of
Customs and Border protection (CBP) in terms of
Reasonable Care. CBP performs audits to ensure that importers
are adhering to the guidelines for documentation, recordkeeping,
classification, and valuation, among others. It is highly
recommended that companies outline its policies and procedures to
ensure that all regulatory issues are addressed, and that its entire
staff is made aware of all compliance requirements.With the
purpose of achieving the highest standard of compliance and
reasonable care, Shapiro has designed its own Compliance Manual
outlining as well as defining best practices and regulatory issues
impacting our operations team.
Our Compliance Manual was created by our Compliance Team and is
essential in managing the complexities of today’s trade environment.
Our Consulting Team can help you achieve your compliance goals by
assisting in the design of your compliance manual. Our team can
provide guidelines and recommendations specifically tailored to
facilitate the efficient implementation of your compliance
objectives. Shapiro can also help to ensure that your organization
is complying with all regulatory requirements and would be prepared
for a Customs audit, should one occur.
