UPS advises clients on the most current compliance initiatives developed by U.S. Customs for the trade community and assists them in evaluating current trade compliance levels. We can help you develop and implement plans to improve your company's trade compliance with national and international security initiatives, as well as regulations pertaining to specific goods.

Many clients need detailed manuals to ensure that employees know the requirements of customs authorities and other governmental agencies in various countries. We can help in the development of customs compliance manuals to educate employees and decrease the risk of fines and punitive damages.

Most countries work under a complex mix of approvals, permits, and restrictions surrounding import and export processes. We work closely with many government agencies internationally to understand these processes and advise clients how to move goods as quickly and efficiently as possible.
