Online Customs Compliance Training Course

US Customs Compliance Essentials

Customs laws cover a wide range of subjects, from country-of-origin marking to smuggling. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency enforces laws at the border that are administered by other federal agencies, such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). CBP has many enforcement tools in its arsenal, including civil and criminal penalties that can be imposed on both companies and employees personally.

If your company imports goods into the U.S., the employees who deal with customs issues need to know the essentials of this area of law in order to avoid severe penalties against your company and themselves that CBP may impose for customs-law violations.
