1 Red Key
Helping Canadian Importers Identify HS Classification and Duty Risks
Avoid Costly CBSA Penalties and Retroactive Duty Reassessments
-
Built for mid-sized Canadian importers who rely on customs brokers but lack internal trade compliance oversight..
-
1 Red Key provides an independent Compliance Risk Scan to identify hidden HS classification errors, valuation inconsistencies, and documentation exposure before CBSA reviews your file.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This assessment is designed for Canadian importers who:
-
Generate $5M–$40M in annual revenue
-
Import goods on a recurring basis
-
Depend on customs brokers for filings
-
Do not have a dedicated in-house trade compliance manager
WHY THIS MATTERS
-
Customs brokers file entries.
-
They do not audit your internal classification logic.
When errors repeat across shipments, exposure compounds — often unnoticed until CBSA review.
-
The financial impact is rarely one shipment.
-
It’s cumulative historical volume.
