WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?
Generally considered as a necessary evil essential to business, customs sometimes remains an abstract subject for importing or exporting companies. Since 2000, the obligation to comply with the customs procedure has been transferred to the importer.
It is important to know that, for customs, everything is in order until checked. Therefore, if your imports or exports are found to be non-compliant,penalties are imposed under the Administrative Monetary Penalty Program (AMPS).
These financial penalties have become so high that the finance and accounting department should be the law enforcement official. However, it is the shipping and receiving department that usually takes responsibility for customs compliance, despite its minimal authority and influence over other departments. They are often too overwhelmed to be aware of the many interventions made by the shipping and receiving department.
As an importer, you must submit to the customs procedure under penalty of penalty. The consistency of your transactional activities in terms of compliance honors your reputation with the authorities.
