Entry Audits
FOCUS has developed a smart entry audit process that includes (1) an automated comparison of data feeds from brokers compared to data submitted by brokers to customs authorities, and (2) manual review of the key header fields requiring compliance checks. Our approach is targeted at ensuring entry accuracy and consistency, identifying errors in broker processing, measuring and improving broker performance on a scorecard basis, communicating errors and corrections needed timely with brokers, and identifying potential duty savings opportunities.
A well thought out entry audit process is a critical component of a strong customs and international trade program that FOCUS specializes in.
