What we're covering

How CAPE phase three creates the largest outstanding refund and liability exposure most importers have on the books.
The three audits to run on your own data now: 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 produces inconsistent classifications across your entry history, and how CBP's shift to holistic auditing turns that into a pattern they can see before you do.
What technology can and cannot do here, including where automation surfaces patterns in your data and where deterministic logic and human judgment still have to own the decision.
