Audit Support

Did you receive a questionnaire from Customs inquiring about your importing practices? Have you been notified that your company will be audited?

US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regularly performs audits in order to assess importers compliance with trade laws and requirements. These audits can range from a CF 28 (Request for Information) to a full review of a company’s importing practice. CBP is increasing its focus on audits in order to determine the probability of noncompliance. This means no matter the size of your company, you could be subject to a Customs audit at any time.

The experienced staff at Copper Hill is ready to guide you through the audit process. We can respond, on your company’s behalf, to any request you receive from CBP. This includes CF 28s, CF 29s, liquidated damages claims, penalty notices, Quick Response Audits and the various questionnaires that come along with Customs audits.

Going through a Customs audit cannot necessarily be avoided, but it can be made easier. To become better prepared, Copper Hill offers full compliance reviews as well as the development of compliance manuals and procedures. Preparation is key when it comes to ensuring your company is compliant with all of Customs rules and regulations.
