CBSA Audit Support & Customs Audit Defense

Facing a CBSA trade compliance verification? Don't navigate it alone. Viacan's experienced customs audit specialists help importers respond effectively to CBSA audits, minimize reassessments, and implement corrective measures to prevent future issues.

Understanding CBSA Trade Compliance Verifications

CBSA conducts Trade Compliance Verifications (TCVs) to ensure importers are correctly classifying goods, paying the appropriate amount of duty, and complying with import regulations. These audits can cover specific HS codes, industries, or individual importers selected for review.

A CBSA audit can result in significant duty reassessments, Administrative Monetary Penalties (AMPs), and increased scrutiny of future shipments. Having an experienced customs compliance professional in your corner is essential.
