What We Do

Shipping companies should consult with ICC if you are considering exporting to the United States to avoid missing a crucial compliance component in your documentation. You should consult with ICC even if you are currently exporting to the United States for the reasons listed below:

  1. When did your customs broker last talk with you regarding your invoice quality?
  2. When did your customs broker last revisit the Harmonized Tariff numbers you are currently using?
  3. When was your NAFTA Certificate last audited in full?
  4. Do you know if your goods truly qualify for NAFTA treatment?
  5. Have you conducted a thorough review of your processes so that you are fully confident that you meet all aspects of the reasonable care statutes promulgated by Customs and Border Protection?
  6. Has your broker addressed the "right to make entry" aspects of exporting to the U.S. with you?
  7. Has your broker discussed C-TPAT Compliance and the benefits that accompany this status with you?
