I have a question regarding prior disclosures. About a month ago, we received a CF28 requesting a NAFTA certificate for a Canadian import. We didn’t have one, and in working with our broker discovered that for the past several years, they had been mistakenly been making NAFTA claims (also not following our classification database) affecting […]
I would like to know if anyone files a post entry amendment quarterly to resolve issues on various import entries, like Fedex misclassifications or how they handle these changes to their entries when they are sometimes numerous.

Could someone share how your company reports over/under receipts to customs?
I have an entry from August 2006 wherein the broker entered the wrong HTS. The entry was submitted with a 4.5% duty. Our original Customs duty/tax came to a total of $3881.96. As soon as we were able (within a month) we requested our broker to make a correction to the entry with the correct […]
