Trying to reduce duty using fake invoices or undervaluation can lead to serious penalties, shipment delays, and business risk. Compliance is cheaper than consequences.
1. How undervaluation disputes begin
When declared values do not match market expectations or evidence, customs requests additional proof and may reassess.
2. Documents that protect your declared value
Contracts, payment proof, freight/insurance evidence, and consistent invoices help support your declaration.
3. Long-term business impact
Delays, fines, and audit risk can hurt cashflow and credibility with suppliers and banks.
4. Compliant cost optimization
Use correct HS codes, avoid delays, and plan shipments efficiently. That’s how real savings happen.
5. Broker role
A licensed broker helps maintain compliance, reduce errors, and respond quickly to queries.
