SUMMARY:Part I - Origin
DESCRIPTION:The Trade Compliance Blueprint Miniseries –\nGet origin wrong\, and every entry inherits the error.\nCountry of origin is not a checkbox on a customs entry\, it is the foundation everything else stands on. It sets your duty rate. It decides whether you qualify for preferential FTA treatment. And when CBSA comes knocking\, it’s the position you either defend with documentation or pay for with reassessments\, penalties\, and clawed-back savings reaching back years. \nThe only constant is change and there has been a plethora of regulatory changes in the last 24 months. Most importers are still relying on determinations made under rules that no longer apply. \nIn 30 focused minutes\, Dominion Customs Solutions kicks off The Trade Compliance Blueprint — a four-part miniseries on building a customs compliance program that holds up under scrutiny. Part I tackles the foundation: ORIGIN. \nWhat you will walk away with: \n\nThe three tests that decide origin — substantial transformation\, tariff-shift rules\, and FTA origin criteria\, and how they are part of a larger whole\nA governance framework that survives an audit — clear roles\, real controls\, audit trails\, and defensibility\nA worked example\, start to finish — from bill of materials to a documented position that still holds up years later\nThe real cost of getting it wrong — reassessments\, penalties\, lost FTA savings — against the upside: Dominion has recovered $600M+ in duty refunds for clients\nLive Q&A with our trade compliance leadership\n\n  \nVIEW ON-DEMAND: The Trade Compliance Blueprint Part I – Origin

SUMMARY:Part II - Classification
DESCRIPTION:The Trade Compliance Blueprint Miniseries – Part II: Classification\nOne HS code decides your duty rate\, your admissibility\, your CUSMA eligibility\, and whether a CBSA review goes your way. Get it wrong once and every entry after it carries the same risk. \nIn 30 minutes\, Erol Özberk and Andrew Simkins break down what a defensible classification program actually looks like — the General Rules of Interpretation applied in order\, the governance that keeps codes consistent\, and the documentation that holds up when CBSA asks how you got there. We’ll walk a real product from spec sheet to supportable HS code\, and put a number on what getting it wrong costs. \nYou’ll walk away knowing: \n\nHow HS codes drive duty\, admissibility and trade agreement eligibility\nThe four pillars of a supportable classification program: roles\, audit trails\, controls\, supportability\nHow to apply the GIRs and essential character — and where the grey areas hide\nWhat a classification record needs to survive an audit\nThe real cost of reassessments\, penalties and duty overpayments\nLive Q&A with senior leadership

SUMMARY:Part III - Valuation
DESCRIPTION:The Trade Compliance Blueprint Miniseries – Part III: Valuation\nCustoms valuation is one of the most consequential and frequently the most challenging areas of trade compliance. A miscalculated method or an unvalidated adjustment doesn’t just risk a CBSA reassessment; it compounds across every entry using the same flawed approach\, turning a small error into a significant liability. \nJoin Dominion as Erol Özberk and Andrew Simkins provide an overview for a focused session on how to get valuation right and keep it right. \nWhat you will walk away with: \n\nValuation methodology fundamentals — the hierarchy of methods used to determine value for duty\, and how to correctly identify and apply adjustments (royalties\, assists\, commissions\, and related-party pricing) without under- or over-declaring.\nRisk mitigation in practice — why knowing (and being able to defend) your chosen method matters\, how to validate the documentation that supports it\, and why your valuation process needs to be revisited on a scheduled basis\, not just after an audit finding.\nCommon pitfalls — the recurring errors CBSA flags most often\, and where importers unknowingly expose themselves to reassessment and penalty risk.\nWhat’s changing — new and pending developments affecting value-for-duty determinations\, and what importers should be doing now to stay ahead of them rather than reacting after the fact.\n\n  \nWhether you’re building a valuation process from scratch or auditing one that hasn’t been reviewed in years\, this session will give you a practical framework for managing valuation risk with confidence.

SUMMARY:Part IV - Audit
DESCRIPTION:The Trade Compliance Blueprint – Part IV: Audit \n\n\nOrigin\, classification\, valuation. Three sessions\, three decisions. A CBSA audit is where the rubber meets the road. \n\n\nPart 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. \n\n\nWe’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. \n\n\nThe goal is simple: Enter audits with confidence. \n\n\nWhere the conversation may take us: \n\n\n\nWhere origin\, classification and valuation decisions come under scrutiny\nThe pitfalls that trip up importers most often during an audit\nWhat CBSA requests\, and what a supportable response looks like\nHow to prepare before the letter arrives\nMost importantly: your questions – submitted ahead and taken live\n\n\n\nSubmit your question when you register\, we’ll answer as many as we can.
