Customs delays often come from mismatched descriptions, values or quantities between documents. We build a master document set, define who updates each field, and run a pre-shipment consistency check with the client, supplier and broker. Filing and legal determinations remain with the licensed customs broker.
The problem it addresses
The invoice, packing list and product description tell three different stories.
Who it is for
Importers and exporters with recurring documentation errors, holds or repeated broker questions.
What the engagement produces
- A master document set and field ownership map
- A pre-shipment consistency checklist
- A correction log for recurring discrepancies
How the work runs
- 01
Scope
Confirm the situation, the decision to be made, responsibilities, fees and what is explicitly out of scope. Third-party costs are identified before work begins.
- 02
Work
Interview the people closest to the work, review the records that exist, build the change and test it against real exceptions rather than a demo.
- 03
Handoff
Document what was built, train the owner, record open items and define whether ongoing support is needed. The business should not depend on Nexus to operate the result.
What it does not do
Stated before the engagement so the scope is honest. Additional requirements are scoped and confirmed in writing.
- Nexus is not a customs broker and does not file entries or determine classification.
- The licensed broker and the importer of record remain responsible for customs declarations.
- Nexus does not act as a customs broker, freight forwarder, importer of record or law firm.
- Tariffs, duties, classification and admissibility are determined by U.S. and foreign authorities and can change without notice.
- Landed-cost models are planning estimates, not binding quotes from carriers or authorities.
