FAQs

CBP Audit Readiness – FAQ

You  have questions—and for good reason.

CBP is auditing more shipments than ever, and even kosher businesses face holds, penalties, or back-duty claims if their paperwork isn’t airtight.

These FAQs explain how our CBP Audit Readiness service works, why contracts matter, and how we give you audit-proof protection before problems arise.

Because CBP doesn’t just check country of origin. They audit valuation, classification, and proof. Without airtight contracts and documents, even honest importers risk detentions or back-duty bills.

No. CBP has named many small and mid-size firms in its recent evasion cases. Smaller companies often lack proper paperwork, which makes them more vulnerable.ady.


Three layers of protection:

Factory Verification Report with evidence from on-site visits


CBP Audit Readiness Packet (audit-ready file for each shipment)


Contract Upgrade Package (real supply contracts enforceable in China/Vietnam)

Factory photos, videos, and production logs

Bill of Materials linked to HS codes

 

Supplier affidavits and declarations


Invoices tied to bank payments


Container seal & chain-of-custody logs


UFLPA/forced labor compliance documents


 

Most importers rely on weak POs or Proforma Invoices. Those are not legal protection. We upgrade them into signed, enforceable contracts that prove you demanded origin, value, and compliance—your strongest defense if audited.

 

They show CBP that you:

Required suppliers to declare true origin and value


Built in penalties for misrepresentation


Secured audit/inspection rights


Took reasonable care in line with U.S. customs law

NNN agreement (non-disclosure, non-use, non-circumvention)

Local supply agreement (origin, valuation, penalties)

 

OEM/production contract if needed


UFLPA/forced labor declaration


Standardized invoice templates & affidavit forms and much more 

 

Most supplier contracts are one-page and unenforceable. We draft local-law contracts with penalties, jurisdiction clauses, and audit rights—serious tools CBP will respect.

You’ll scramble to collect documents your supplier may not want to share. CBP can assume the worst—issue penalties, retroactive duties, or force live entry.

 

Yes. The Readiness Packet and signed contracts double as your response file. We work with your broker and legal support to release goods faster.

That’s a high-risk setup. Traders often hide the real factory. We trace the supply chain, identify the true manufacturer, and anchor contracts and evidence at the production level.

Not by dodging tariffs. This saves you from unexpected costs—retroactive duty bills, detentions, legal fees. One avoided penalty or delay often pays for the service many times over.

Setup: Once per supplier/factory (audit + contracts)

Per-shipment: A Packet delivered each time you load a container

 

Annual refresh: To update contracts and re-verify suppliers

That’s fine—but CBP doesn’t care about trust. They want signed contracts and hard evidence. Our service translates your trust into legal, defensible proof.

That’s a red flag. Legitimate suppliers will cooperate. If they resist, you know your exposure early and can act before CBP does.

Factory audit + contracts: ~2 weeks

Per-shipment Packet: 3–5 business days after inspection

 

We emphasize China because that’s where risk is highest. But we also cover Vietnam, where many Chinese goods are transshipped. Both hubs are supported.

 

Peace of mind. You’ll have contracts, documents, and evidence that prove you did everything possible to comply. If CBP audits you, you’re not scrambling—you’re ready.
