Overview
The customs declaration and clearance process are a pivotal part of customs compliance, making it critical for importers and exporters to ensure a high level of attention to their cross-border operations. This topic integrates other customs subjects covered in previous webinars, such as product classification, Rules of Origin, customs valuation, and import and export controls, into a key phase of customs compliance. Importers and exporters engage various stakeholders, including service providers, throughout the value chain to deliver products to their final destination. It is essential to identify the factors and steps for efficient and compliant declaration and clearance processes.
Understanding the sequential actions requiring attention throughout the value chain is necessary. Tax professionals working with customs should be able to draft cross-border manuals, simple flowcharts, and service level agreements (SLAs) with involved stakeholders. Additionally, creating document/information checklists for employee reference and knowing when to obtain a customs health-check is crucial for high-level compliance and smooth, seamless clearances.
