CANADIAN IMPORT DATA & COMPLIANCE RISK SCREENING
Identify potential compliance risks in your import data
Preliminary compliance risk screening for Canadian businesses managing recurring commercial imports.
1RedKey screens submitted import information for potential inconsistencies in HS classification, customs valuation, country of origin and recordkeeping—helping businesses identify areas that may warrant closer examination.
WHAT WE EXAMINE
1RedKey helps Canadian importers bring greater structure and visibility to their import information. Our preliminary screening focuses on the quality, consistency and organization of the records provided, helping identify potential issues that may warrant closer examination.
01. Import Data Quality
Reliable review starts with reliable information.
We look for missing fields, inconsistent formats, incomplete product descriptions and other data-quality issues within the information provided.
Identifying these gaps can help businesses understand where records may need clarification, additional information or further attention before a more detailed review.

02. Import Record Consistency
Differences across records deserve attention.
We screen available import records for potential inconsistencies across recurring shipments and files. Depending on the information provided, this may include variations in product descriptions, HS classifications, declared values and country-of-origin details.
These differences are treated as potential risk indicators for further examination, not as confirmation that a customs error has occurred.
03. Internal Review & Information Handoffs
Consistent information requires a structured process.
We consider how import information is collected, organized, maintained and shared between internal teams and customs brokers.
This can help identify potential gaps in information handoffs, recordkeeping and routine review practices that may make import records more difficult to reconcile or assess.
