Customs and International Trade - Strategies - Ernst & Young - United States

We use risk management and strategic planning as the foundations on which we build value driven strategies tailored to our clients’ needs worldwide.

Risk management has emerged as the primary objective of the corporate customs function and has become increasingly proactive. Our risk management strategies assist clients in taking a closer look inside their organizations to identify ways to mitigate risk related to international trade. Whether the focus is on antidumping exposure, customs-trade partnership program requirements, export controls or overall regulatory compliance, our value-driven strategies assist companies in effectively managing risk anywhere in the world.

Strategic planning presents global opportunities in planning for trade and duty issues, and speeding the supply chain. As the customs function has both financial and operational impacts in all countries in the supply chain, there are a wide range of approaches to maximize financial performance. From the utilization of free trade agreements and special trade programs, to customs valuation planning and tariff engineering, to import and export process design and systems implementations, strategic planning works to help ensure an effective supply chain worldwide.
