Valuation & Reconciliation Services

Customs valuation law is extremely complex. This area of customs management requires unique skills and experience to design and manage effective entry and post entry customs value reporting and reconciliation processes and systems. FOCUS helps clients design, implement, and manage effective customs value reporting and reconciliation processes and systems.

Traditionally, valuation reviews by Customs Authorities uncover areas of valuation reporting non-compliance resulting in payments of additional duties for un-reported value adjustments that occured before or after importation. Reportable customs value adjustments can inlcude, where not included in the piece price and declared value of imported goods, such things:

Packing costs
Selling commissions
Assists
Royalties
Proceeds of a subsequent resale
Other indirect payments
