Description

Mistakes happen. Even in the most well-run trade compliance programs. When an importer realizes an error has been made, how they respond can significantly impact penalties, enforcement exposure, and future risk. This webinar breaks down what to do when something goes wrong and how a properly handled prior disclosure can help mitigate consequences with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

 

In this webinar, presenters cover:

  • When a prior disclosure is (and isn’t) appropriate
  • Common customs law mistakes that trigger prior disclosures, including valuation, classification, origin, and Section 232 valuation errors (the subject of a current CIT lawsuit)
  • Key timing considerations – when disclosure helps and when waiting can hurt
  • Differences between CBP prior disclosures and disclosures to other government agencies
  • Potential benefits of filing, including penalty mitigation and reduced enforcement risk
  • Strategic pitfalls to avoid when preparing a disclosure
  • Best practices for working with counsel and internal teams during the disclosure process

  • Dana Watts, Of Counsel, Diaz Trade Law
