Customs Valuation Determination and Verification Workshop (Half Day)

March 7- Nashville, TN
 
Determining the import value stands as a pivotal requirement for demonstrating compliance, wielding significant influence over a global company's capacity to safeguard its financial interests. This encompasses duties, fees, taxes, statistical reporting figures, and reasonable care management.
 
This course will delve into the essential practices of exercising the due diligence necessary to justify declared import values. Relying solely on the costs stated in commercial invoices or standard shipping documents is deemed an indefensible approach and falls within the realm of common non-compliance practices.

Topics will include but not be limited to the following:
 
Valuation Responsibilities of the Importer
