Are you responsible for your company's customs compliance into Canada or the US? If you are familiar with international trade then you likely know that customs valuation is only one of the many complex aspects of importing and exporting that you must consider. With so many rules surrounding each method of valuation (or appraisement) it is hard to know which is the correct method to apply. The CBSA, CRA, CBP and IRS are completely separate government agencies that at times value goods differently than one another; therefore, it is important to know what is acceptable to which agency.
