Importers working with Customs and Border Protection and their Customs broker(s) must ensure that they are in compliance with regulations for all government agencies with whom they interact.  Whether performing mock audits to check for classification errors or reviewing import programs for compliance with the Lacey Act, the Food Safety Modernization Act or any other governing programs, Merit Trade Consulting can safely navigate importers through the regulatory maze. Merit Trade Consulting also works with importers on a proactive basis, helping in the fields of valuation and record keeping best practices. An interrupted supply chain costs time, money and customer goodwill, and we work to ensure maximum compliance to speed goods quickly and correctly through the entry process.

Merit Trade Consulting also understands the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) and can successfully take an importer through the application and approval process.
