Customs Audit Support

Sometimes, despite its best efforts to meet reasonable care standards, an importer can be subject to a CBP investigation or audit, which can consume significant time and financial resources and result in additional tariffs, penalties, and other problems if not handled correctly. These measures can include risk analysis and survey assessments or referral audits.

STR’s team of former CBP auditors has the experience and insight to help importers avoid many of the pitfalls that can occur during an audit, improve the flow of communication with CBP, and ensure appropriate responses that expedite the review. We also help companies identify, assess, evaluate, and implement appropriate internal controls and quantify, disclose, and implement appropriate corrective actions.

Experience: With decades of experience with CBP’s investigative and audit processes, our team of former CBP auditors has the know-how to effectively represent our clients’ best interests.

Penalties: Utilizing STR’s expert auditors can substantially mitigate penalties and other enforcement actions.

Compliance: We can help you identify and implement internal controls that can minimize the negative consequences of past compliance problems or violations and set you up for future success.
