Trade Compliance Audit Service

In Partnership with NUCO Logistics, Inc.
 

NUCO Logistics

Trade compliance remains a critical responsibility for chemical importers. Changes in tariffs, trade programs, and regulatory requirements can create compliance exposure even when established import procedures are in place. Periodic review of import activity can help identify potential reporting issues, strengthen internal controls, and demonstrate reasonable care.

As an ACD strategic partner, NUCO Logistics provides specialized import compliance reviews to help members evaluate key elements of their import activity and identify areas that may require corrective action or further analysis.

 

How This Supports ACD Members

A proactive compliance review can help members:

  • Identify potential underreported or overreported import activity
  • Evaluate exposure to U.S. Customs and Border Protection penalties, unpaid duties, and taxes
  • Prepare supporting documentation when tariff programs change or refund opportunities arise
  • Demonstrate reasonable care before a customs inquiry or enforcement action
  • Strengthen internal import controls and broker oversight

 

Value of a Proactive Review

The review provides members with a focused assessment of selected import activity. Following the review, NUCO Logistics provides a summary of findings and recommended next steps for items that may warrant correction, additional documentation, or further analysis.

 

Scope of the Compliance Review

NUCO Logistics reviews a representative sample of import entries for common compliance risks, including:

  • HTS classification
  • Country of origin
  • Tariff program eligibility and application
  • Antidumping and countervailing duty requirements
  • Toxic Substances Control Act requirements
  • Accuracy of broker-submitted information
