Below are the key elements that should be included in any import compliance plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> Roles and Responsibilities<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Define who in the organization is responsible for import compliance, from the executive level to operational staff. Include accountability for decision-making, oversight, and escalation.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><b> Classification Procedures<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outline the process for determining <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harmonized Tariff Schedule<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (HTSUS) classifications, including methods for documenting justifications, maintaining supporting evidence, and deciding whether to request a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">binding ruling<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> from CBP.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><b> Valuation Procedures<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Outline the process for determining valuation, including when a related party is involved. Document the circumstances under which a binding ruling from CBP may be necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><b> Country of Origin Procedures<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Establish how origin is determined, documented, and certified, including rules for substantial transformation, marking, and preferential programs (like USMCA).<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><b> Recordkeeping<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensure procedures meet CBP&#8217;s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">19 C.F.R. Part 163<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> requirements, including keeping all import-related documents (commercial invoices, packing lists, entry summaries, etc.) for at least five years.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><b> Broker Management<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set expectations for customs brokers, including written instructions, periodic reviews, and communication protocols to ensure data accuracy and consistency.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><b> Internal Audits and Reviews<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Schedule regular self-assessments to identify errors before CBP does. These audits help demonstrate proactive compliance and provide the foundation for corrective actions.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><b> Corrective Actions and Escalation<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Document procedures for addressing identified issues \u2014 including internal reporting, escalation, and filing prior disclosures when appropriate to mitigate penalties.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Import Compliance Training Program<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even the best-written compliance plan only works if teams understand and apply it. A robust training program is a critical part of every importer&#8217;s compliance framework.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compliance training should not be limited to lawyers, senior staff, or those directly working on logistics. Provide training to all staff so that everyone can recognize red flags, understand their roles in the compliance process, and maintain consistency across departments. Advanced customs compliance training for import personnel can be valuable in ensuring the company is meeting its reasonable care standard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training should occur at least annually, with additional sessions for new hires or when significant regulatory or internal process changes occur.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A strong import compliance training program equips employees with the practical knowledge to make accurate, compliant decisions every day, and to identify circumstances where seeking an outside opinion might be advisable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following areas form the foundation of an effective training curriculum.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> Importer Obligations<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explain what \u201creasonable care\u201d looks like in practice, the consequences of non-compliance, and how each department contributes to meeting these expectations. Employees should understand that while customs brokers may file entries, the importer of record is ultimately accountable for the accuracy of all information contained in those entries.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><b> Classification and Valuation Procedures<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teach employees how to determine the correct HTSUS classification and identify (and maintain) supporting documentation. Misclassification or undervaluation of goods are two of the most common and costly import errors.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><b> Recordkeeping Requirements<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explain what documents must be retained, in what format, and who within the organization is responsible for maintaining them. Employees should also learn how strong recordkeeping supports internal audits and can mitigate penalties in the event of a CBP review or inquiry.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><b> Broker Management and Communication Protocols<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Highlight best practices for broker oversight, including issuing written instructions, verifying data accuracy, and regularly reviewing entry filings. Staff should know how to communicate with brokers effectively, share supporting documentation, and document all interactions. Customs brokers play an essential role in an importer&#8217;s business, but they operate under the direction of the importer of record. The goal is to ensure your broker acts as an extension of your compliance program, not a substitute for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><b> Corrective Actions and Escalations<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explain how to handle corrective actions and escalate concerns when issues are identified. Outline the exact process for reporting concerns, who to notify, and how to document corrective steps taken. Even the most careful importers are not immune to customs violations.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><b> Regular Updates<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Periodically reevaluate the training program. Regular updates are a vital element of any import compliance training program because trade regulations, CBP enforcement priorities, and company operations are constantly evolving. A static compliance program can quickly become outdated.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Copyright 2025 Bloomberg Industry Group, Inc.
