The client asked us to evaluate its import operations in order to determine whether they had complied with the applicable customs legislation. The client also requested that, if gaps or opportunities for improvement were identified, we explain the possible actions to be taken to mitigate the risks that might exist. He also required recommendations based on our experience.
As requested, we evaluated the imports made by the client and identified an impact on the operation. In that sense, we warned the client of the situation found and informed him of the associated risks, as well as the actions that could be taken. As a result, the client was able to correct the situation and was able to correct it before Customs did so, thus avoiding the imposition of penalties that would imply the loss of ownership of the goods and even the initiation of criminal investigations.
