Basics of Prior Disclosure Webinar

Have you come across an error in shipment information that was submitted to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP)?  Did you know that you can elect to make a complete disclosure of the violation before or without knowledge of a formal Custom investigation of violation? Doing so can reduce or eliminate penalties.  Join us for our upcoming hour long webinar on the Basics of Prior Disclosures.

• What exactly is a Prior Disclosure?

• Are there any downsides to doing a Prior Disclosure?
• How do I know if a “formal investigation been opened”? 
• What can I do if I believe an investigation has already been opened?
• Can I do my own Prior Disclosure?
• Where can I find more detailed information on Prior Disclosures?
• Customs has issued several CF 28’s (requests for information).  Should we be concerned?
• We have received a call from Customs asking for a meeting.  Is this an issue?
• How much work is there to prepare and submit a Prior Disclosure?
