The Trade Compliance Blueprint – Part IV: Audit

Origin, classification, valuation. Three sessions, three decisions. A CBSA audit is where the rubber meets the road.

Part IV closes the series differently. Instead of a fixed agenda, we’re building this one around your questions. Send them in when you register, drop more in the Q&A widget on the day, and Erol Özberk and Andrew Simkins will work through them live.

We’ll open with a short recap of the first three sessions and the pitfalls that surface most often when importers receive a Trade Compliance Verification notice. We will walk you through an audit as it actually unfolds: What CBSA asks for, in what order, and how the record you’ve built at each earlier stage either carries you through or leaves you exposed.

The goal is simple: Enter audits with confidence.

Where the conversation may take us:

• Where origin, classification and valuation decisions come under scrutiny
• The pitfalls that trip up importers most often during an audit
• What CBSA requests, and what a supportable response looks like
• How to prepare before the letter arrives
• Most importantly: your questions – submitted ahead and taken live

Submit your question when you register, we’ll answer as many as we can.
