Trade and Customs Duty, Export Compliance

Companies engaged in global trade face complex import, export, and border security customs and regulations. Managing global supply chains requires navigating the laws of multiple jurisdictions to maintain compliance, qualify for benefits, and keep costs low. Whether the customs function is in-house or outsourced, obtaining full insight into the global customs profile of a multinational is often difficult, if not impossible.

Deloitte’s export compliance professionals advise on duties, taxes, risks, penalties, and consequences of noncompliance. We help standardize and automate trade and customs duty compliance processes, allowing clients to operate more efficiently at lower risk. Standardization and automation can also help businesses capture the benefits of special trade programs.
