Charter’s staff includes experienced customs attorneys, licensed customs brokers, certified public accountants {or “accountants”} and global trade service professionals who are recognized experts in US and Canadian customs matters. Our team routinely presents on these topics at trade and industry symposia and conferences. Charter makes its longtime expertise and experience available to clients both on a transaction-by-transaction basis and on a long-term basis, assisting in the implementation of processes and procedures designed to meet compliance best practices identified by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Charter worked with CBP to design the Importer Self-Assessment Program, and we have assisted several companies in their successful applications for that program. We understand the expectations of CBP and CBSA (if we add it) concerning compliance, and we assist clients in this area in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
