It is the Importer's responsibility to ensure the proper information has been disclosed to Customs for clearance. The new AMPS system may create a lot of penalty situations. Your shipment can be seized or penalties can apply for the following reasons, just to name a few:

You should advise your Customs Broker of all the proper information before your shipment arrives for Customs clearance. You need to develop a compliance plan. This plan should create a paper flow from the time of order to the time of payment. For example the following items should all be verified to ensure proper values, quantities etc.
