Freight Forwarder Broker Audit:
Your Freight Forwarders and Customs Brokers act as your agent and as
your agent, their mistakes count against you. If they make an error
on the inbound side, you may end up paying excessive duty amounts, or being
held liable by CBP for additional duties and penalties. On the outbound
side, they file documentation and move your shipments on your behalf. A
mistake made in this process can result in your shipment being detained or
seized and YOU ultimately being held responsible for fines, and/or
penalties. In addition, these “delays” may have further negative impacts
with your customers by delaying programs, impacting delivery schedules, and
possibly causing you additional expenses such as outside counsel …
