Advanced Forum on Customs Compliance

Get goods through customs quickly and efficiently, pay the correct duties and avoid violations

Tuesday, November 08 to Wednesday, November 09, 2011

When companies want to make use of simplified customs procedures, they will be required to meet AEO standards. As a result, more and more companies are applying to become AEOs and they are seeing increased scrutiny of their AEO applications. Those who don’t meet the requirements could face application rejection, or for those who already have AEO certification, a suspension or revocation of this certification. Customs compliance officers need to be prepared to meet the demanding requirements of this application process on their first try and must maintain these standards once the AEO certification is obtained.  

At the same time, Customs authorities are increasingly and consistently vigilant when checking for potential customs violations, which can result in the destruction of goods, substantial fines and costly boarder delays. However, you can avoid these issues from arising by using the correct customs classifications, having an efficient customs compliance programme that ensures all departments within the company are following proper procedures, and by carefully choosing the appropriate customs valuations methods.

C5’s new Advanced Forum on Customs Compliance goes beyond the basics, bringing you strategies for overcoming even your most daunting customs compliance challenges. The expert faculty will present practical case studies and engage the audience in question and answer scenarios, giving you the opportunity to work out solutions to everyday customs issues with your peers. You will be able to take the knowledge that you have gained through this forum back to your own company and implement these strategies immediately.

Highlights include:

  • Passing Section 5 of the AEO application: steps to take in preparing your site for Customs stringent safety and security requirements
  • Preparing for an AEO audit: how to prepare for the in depth scrutiny of your company’s internal systems
  • Interactive case study of the Incoterms: work through the challenges of the practical implementation of the Incoterms® with your industry peers
