Before filing a customs entry, an import broker systematically reviews the shipment for common risk factors: incorrect tariff classification under the Harmonized System, valuation discrepancies, violations of import bans or restrictions, and potential matches against sanctions lists. This structured pre-filing assessment is designed to prevent cargo holds, duty surcharges, and enforcement actions before they arise. The outcome is a risk-ranked evaluation that guides the broker in recommending corrective steps to the importer – from amending a commodity code to obtaining missing import licences. Depending on the goods and their origin, the analysis may also cover preferential duty eligibility and rules-of-origin documentation.
