Customs compliance audits are conducted by customs authorities to assess businesses' adherence to laws and regulations. Customs brokers serve as intermediaries, helping businesses prepare the necessary documentation, such as permits and certificates, and ensuring compliance with customs requirements. Effective communication with customs authorities is another important aspect of their role, as it helps address queries and resolve issues during the audit process. Customs brokers possess extensive knowledge of customs regulations and can provide guidance on tariff classifications, valuation methods, and duty rates. They also conduct risk assessments to identify potential non-compliance areas and assist in maintaining accurate records. Overall, customs brokers play a critical role in facilitating smooth and compliant international trade operations.
