Customs Compliance Scan

Our specialists will work with your team and organization for a number of days in order to get a good idea of what is going on internally. We combine conversations with your employees with a study of existing processes and data analyses in order to give you a first indication of potential risks, opportunities and areas for improvement.

The process will have the following structure: 

1. Kickoff-call: introduction, elaborate on our approach & first steps  '
2. Request for insight in your documents, such as copies of permits, manuals, process and procedures, work instructions, internal/external audit reports for a pre-view 
3. Our expert performs a pre-scan to get a general impression and determine possible risk areas 
4. The expert plans interviews with contacts involved (customs, logistics, purchasing, compliance, financial, sales, etc.) and shares the schedule for the company visit 
5. Interviews are conducted and, if applicable, a tour during the company visit 
6. A written report is created including, general summary of scope, risk areas and shortcomings, suggestions for improvements. The report may identify a role for Customs Support (outsourcing declarations, interim management, project management, trainings) 
7. The expert makes the final evaluation, elaborates on the outcomes and discusses possible next steps.

We review several aspects of your customs processes and provide you with a comprehensive report on the outcome, containing potential risks and opportunities for improvement. As experts in customs & trade compliance, we can help you with implementing the outcomes of the report, e.g. Customs Compliance Program (import/export), AEO-authorisation, Bonded Warehouse license etc.

A Customs Compliance scan usually takes three to five days depending on the size of your organisation and scope.
