Read the first 7 Customs & Compliance Management flashcards as text

  1. In CargoWise, what is the purpose of the 'Consignee' versus 'Importer of Record' distinction on a US customs entry?

    Answer: The Consignee receives the goods while the Importer of Record is legally responsible for the accuracy of the entry and duty payment

    CargoWise captures both parties because the Importer of Record bears legal liability to CBP for the entry's accuracy and duty payment, even if different from the physical recipient (Consignee).

  2. A CargoWise customs entry is placed under a CBP 'Intensive Exam' (VATS). Which action should the broker record first in CargoWise?

    Answer: Update the Customs Declaration status to reflect the exam hold and notify the importer via the messaging/event workflow

    The broker should update the Customs Declaration exam status in CargoWise and use the event/messaging workflow to notify the importer of the hold and estimated delay.

  3. Which CargoWise field records the 'Country of Origin' for duty and trade compliance purposes, and why is it distinct from 'Country of Export'?

    Answer: Country of Origin (manufacture/substantial transformation) drives duty rates and trade restrictions; Country of Export is where goods were shipped from, which may differ

    CargoWise stores Country of Origin separately because it determines applicable duty rates, trade agreement eligibility, and import restrictions—goods can be exported from a third country while retaining their original country of manufacture.

  4. In CargoWise, how are Section 301 tariffs (additional duties on Chinese-origin goods) applied to a customs entry?

    Answer: They are added as a separate tariff line with the applicable Section 301 HTS overlay code and rate

    Section 301 additional duties are recorded in CargoWise as separate tariff lines using the specific HTS code with the Section 301 overlay rate, stacked on top of the standard MFN duty.

  5. What does CargoWise's 'Compliance Score' or 'Risk Score' assigned to an importer profile influence in the customs workflow?

    Answer: The level of scrutiny or review applied to the importer's declarations, potentially triggering additional checks

    An importer's compliance/risk score in CargoWise can trigger automated additional review steps or flags on new declarations, helping brokers manage high-risk clients proactively.

  6. In CargoWise, what is the correct process when a CBP CF-28 (Request for Information) is issued after entry?

    Answer: Record the CF-28 against the Customs Declaration, gather supporting documents, and respond within the deadline tracked in CargoWise

    CargoWise allows users to attach CF-28 requests to the original Customs Declaration, manage document collection, and track the response deadline to avoid deemed-concession outcomes.

  7. Which CargoWise function allows a freight forwarder to automatically populate customs declaration data from the linked shipment/house waybill without manual re-entry?

    Answer: Automated Customs Declaration creation from the Forwarding Shipment (data inheritance/linking)

    CargoWise links Forwarding Shipments to Customs Declarations, automatically inheriting shipper, consignee, commodity, and value data to minimize dual-entry and reduce keying errors.
