With more than 25 years of expertise in Import Customs Compliance, Export Customs Compliance, Customs Consulting, Customs Audits, Customs Compliance Verification Services, and Canadian Customs Brokerage Services and U.S. Customs Brokerage Services, MSR has the tools, technology and expertise you need to ensure your Customs requirements are managed in a high performance, cost effective manner.

Customs Compliance

Whether you import or export, customs compliance — including customs audits, and avoiding expensive AMPS penalties — really matters. The Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (CCRA) vigorously enforces the laws and regulations pertaining to importing, exporting, and customs compliance, policed with its Administrative Monetary Penalty System (AMPS).

Whether for Customs Self-Assessment (CSA), Free and Secure Trade (FAST), Partners in Protection (PIP), Advanced Commercial Information Reporting (ACIR), NEXUS (fast-lane border crossing), or traditional customs clearance, MSR has the necessary Windows-based and on-line customs software solutions to ensure your business can capitalize on the 'best practices' established by the import and export business communities.

Import Customs Compliance Systems

The MSR Visual Importer Suite automatically produces the proper customs documentation, in the CCRA preferred electronic format, to satisfy Canada Customs and ensure speedy customs clearance and release of your goods. It produces the electronic line release customs documents needed for the Pre-Arrival Review System (PARS), the Frequent Importer Release System (FIRST) and electronic B3 - Canada Customs Coding Form for use on the Customs Automated Data Exchange System (CADEX).

Visual Importer contains complete up-to-date information on the Harmonized System (HS) customs tariff classification codes and customs tariff schedules, to ensure that you satisfy Customs' mandatory HS requirements and apply the most favorable tariff treatment possible to your goods.

MSR was also one of the first companies to have a CCRA approved CSA software solution, which is available as a module in the Visual Importer Suite.

Export Customs Compliance Systems

The MSR benchmark export solution, Visual Exporter, intelligently determines and produces all the correct export documentation you need to ensure customs compliance (Canadian and foreign), and proper shipping documentation for all parties involved in your shipment - including any special declarations required based on the final destination or mode of transport - no matter where your shipment originates in the world, or where its going. Send these documents by e-mail, fax or electronically anywhere worldwide, to your own internal departments, to your client, the CCRA, the destination country, your carriers, and even your brokers.
