Customs Compliance

AS AN IMPORTER, ARE YOU MANAGING CUSTOMS COMPLIANCE BY ROLLING THE DICES OR BY CONTROLLING THE RISKS?

With the introduction of the Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS), penalties for non compliant customs declarations have become a reality affecting all parties subject to various regulations.

If you are uncertain or unaware of the financial risks concerning AMPS, make sure you understand your obligations and evaluate your position in regards to compliance.


AXXESS’ EXPERTISE IN CUSTOMS CONSULTING ENABLES US TO HAVE A GLOBAL VISION AND TO UNDERSTAND YOUR IMPORTER PROFILE. WE ARE ABLE TO GIVE EXPERT ADVICE ON COMPLIANCE AND ALL REGULATORY ISSUES THAT MAY REPRESENT CONCERNS AND RISKS FOR YOUR COMPANY.
 
Here are some examples of the penalties (AMPS)
• C336 – Failed to pay duties on goods accounted for.
• C005 – Failed to provide true, accurate and complete information.
• C071 – Failed to provide permit/certificate or information before goods are released.
