A reasonable doubt over declared value (DRD), a valuation adjustment or a classification disagreement requires understanding the observation and the complete file. We organize the facts, assess the evidence and identify what needs support.
Questions about the declared value and its components.
Differences between descriptions, composition, use and tariff classification.
Requests for documents and observations raised after clearance.

Purchase orders, contracts, quotations and relevant supplier correspondence.
Invoices, payment evidence and applicable freight and insurance records.
Technical sheets, catalogues and information identifying the goods.
An evidence index linking each document to the point under review.

Analyze. Support. Follow through.
We first review the notice, dates and shipment status. We then define the technical work, missing evidence and coordination with the appropriate professional or representative.
Technical reading of the request and analysis of the goods.
Preparation of supporting arguments and document version control.
Tracking actions and preventive lessons for future shipments.
Training on recurring documentation errors within the agreed scope.
