The responsibility of the importer of goods has increased substantially in the past few years. Customs agencies in both Canada and the U.S. look to the importer when auditing, assessing penalties, and when determining if the importing practices are within all guidelines and regulations.
Pacific Customs Brokers will customize seminars to suit a specific industry or a company upon request. We currently run seminars targeted at sports and special events, agriculture, produce and industrial equipment.
