🕚 18 DAYS, 17 HOURS

What we're covering

How CAPE phase three creates the largest refund and liability exposure most importers have on the books.
Audits to run: a consistency audit for conflicting HTS codes, an accuracy audit tying descriptions, COO, and HTS to the SKU, and an opportunity audit for reclassification and tariff engineering.
Why using multiple brokers quietly produces inconsistent classifications across your entry history, and how CBP's shift to holistic auditing turns that into a risk.
Where tech & AI can and cannot help you with your CAPE refunds.
