As the demand for international trade increases and the rules concerning landscape compliance evolve to to meet these growing demands, global supply chains are facing several unique challenges. Navigating the world of customs compliance can be complicated and confusing, and participants in the international market consistently overlook significant compliance details that result in delays, extra storage costs, and fines.
There are several customs issues that importers and exporters come up against during the transportation process. For importers, these issues stand between them and the products they invested in. At Rudolf Miles Customhouse Brokers, we recognize that avoiding customs issues – and smoothing them out when they pop up – is imperative for the bottom line. Here are a few ways we assist our customers with the transportation of goods across international borders.
Broker Services
Between customs clearance, customs bonds, quotas, and audits, a top-level custom brokerage organization should offer service that demonstrates both quality and quantity. Customs brokers should also assist with reconciliation with preferential origin treatments such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
Consultations
In order to take advantage of duty relief opportunities associated with NAFTA treatments, importers must have the proper documentation and stay in compliance with the rules of origin. Customs issues are notoriously complex, but international trade companies do not need to figure the process out alone!
