How Brokers Can Help Importers When Customs Asserts ADD/CVD Are Owed

How Brokers Can Help Importers When Customs Asserts ADD/CVD Are Owed

Approved for 1 CCS/MCS credit

This 1-hour program will provide brokers with pointers on how to guide their importer clients when Customs alleges ADD/CVD are owed on the shipment but the importer contends the goods are not subject to ADD/CVD. For example, Customs might allege the true origin of the goods is China, when the importer claims the goods were made in Vietnam. Similarly, Customs might allege the goods are in-scope, even though the importer asserts they are out of scope. Real-life case studies will be used, along with options for pushing back on Customs’ decision.
