FAQs

A Factory Verification Report is on-the-ground documentation proving that your supplier in China or Vietnam is legitimate and compliant with U.S. import laws. It includes geo-tagged photos, BOM-to-HS code mapping, and production flow records. Importers use these reports to defend against CBP audits, CF-28/CF-29 requests, and detentions, reducing risks of shipment seizure and penalties.

CBP Focused Assessments look closely at valuation, classification, and internal controls. A Factory Verification Report provides documented proof of supplier legitimacy, cost structures, and compliance. This helps importers demonstrate “reasonable care” under U.S. law, which is critical to avoiding fines or penalties during a Focused Assessment.

Yes. Under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA), CBP presumes goods from certain regions are made with forced labor unless proven otherwise. Our on-site audits in China and Vietnam include supplier affidavits, raw material origin tracing, and chain-of-custody documentation. These files help importers overcome the rebuttable presumption and get shipments released.

 

  • Geo-tagged factory photos & videos

  • BOM mapped to HS codes

  • Production flow & custody records

  • Factory license & capacity checks

  • Supplier affidavits on origin, valuation, and classification

  • Evidence aligned with CBP binding rulings

This file is formatted to withstand CBP scrutiny and match your broker’s entry paperwork.

Remote audits rarely satisfy CBP requirements because they lack direct evidence. On-site verification by Asia Agent teams in China and Vietnam ensures you get:

  • Verified factory records and licenses

  • Date-stamped production and shipping records

  • Independent supplier affidavits

  • Documentation that can stand up in CBP audit or detention cases

 

  • Day 0: Case scoped & engagement confirmed

  • Days 1–3: On-site factory visit, photos, and records collected

  • Days 2–5: Affidavits drafted, reconciliations completed, and compliance memos prepared

  • Before CBP deadline: Complete file delivered to your customs broker or legal counsel

This speed is crucial for meeting CF-28 (Request for Information) or CF-29 (Notice of Action) deadlines.

 

By proactively documenting your suppliers, you:

  • Show reasonable care under U.S. law

  • Strengthen your response to CBP inquiries

  • Reduce the chance of costly delays, detentions, or penalties

  • Build a long-term compliance file for future shipments

Our verification services are designed for U.S. importers sourcing from China and Vietnam, but we also support clients in the EU, UK, and Canada. Regulations vary, but supply chain transparency, UFLPA compliance, and customs documentation are globally relevant.
