CBP conducts focused assessments, audits, and penalty proceedings against importers who lack documented compliance programs. Aurora builds comprehensive customs compliance programs, prepares clients for CBP audits, and handles penalty mitigation and prior disclosure filings.

Who it's for: Growing importers, companies facing CBP audits, or businesses with high-risk commodities.

Reasonable Care Standard

US law requires importers to exercise 'reasonable care' in classifying goods, declaring value, and determining country of origin. We document your reasonable care standard — protecting you from 19 USC 1592 fraud and negligence penalties.

C-TPAT Certification

Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) certified importers receive expedited processing, fewer exams, and access to trusted trader benefits. We guide you through the C-TPAT application, security profile development, and annual validation.

Prior Disclosure

If you discover a past customs violation, a Prior Disclosure filing can reduce penalties to the unpaid duties plus interest — avoiding the standard 4x penalty for negligence. We prepare and file Prior Disclosures on your behalf.

CBP Focused Assessment

A CBP Focused Assessment is a targeted audit of your import practices. We prepare you with a mock audit, document review, and compliance gap analysis — so you're ready before CBP arrives.

Recordkeeping Compliance

Importers must retain entry records for 5 years. We implement recordkeeping systems that satisfy 19 CFR Part 163 requirements and the Recordkeeping Compliance Program (RCP) standards.

How It Works

  1. Compliance audit of your current import practices
  2. Gap analysis and risk assessment report
  3. Written compliance manual and standard operating procedures
  4. C-TPAT application or prior disclosure filing if needed
  5. Ongoing monitoring, staff training, and annual review
