Customs compliance
 
As an importer, do you manage customs compliance by rolling the dice or controlling your risks?
 
Following the implementation of the administrative monetary penalty system (RSAP), penalties for customs non-compliance have become a reality affecting all stakeholders affected by various regulations.
 
If you are unsure of the monetary risks in this regard, make sure you understand your obligations and assess your position accordingly.
 
At Axxess, we attach great importance to ensuring that the importer profile of our customers complies with customs regulations. Our role is to protect your interests by ensuring the correct tariff classification, origin and customs value of your goods.
 
To do this, we can assess your level of compliance, move to simulate a customs audit (CBSA *) and prepare a compliance plan specific to your needs.
 
If your company wants to take advantage of all these advantages and become a low-risk importer, do not hesitate to contact our experts for more information.
 
Our expertise:
  • Review of your importer profile
  • Preparation of a compliance plan
  • Risk Assessment
  • Analysis of AMG requirements
  • Analysis and review of the various Free Trade Agreements
