STR Webinar: CBP Risk Analysis and Survey Assessment – The CBP Audit Transformation

About The Webinar
Risk Analysis and Survey Assessments (RASAs) may sound like a lighter-touch alternative to a formal audit, but in reality, RASAs can be just as demanding. They often involve rigorous scrutiny, extensive document requests, and a deep dive into an importer’s compliance practices. When a RASA uncovers perceived compliance gaps, it can quickly trigger a full-scale audit and potential enforcement actions. In this webinar, we’ll pull back the curtain on the RASA process, examine the key risk areas currently drawing CBP attention, and share practical strategies importers can use to confidently prepare for a RASA or navigate an audit if one arises.
Key Topics
CBP Reg Audit mission, structure, and legal authority to audit
Types of  audit engagements and process for identifying and selecting audit candidates
RASA approach, processes, and issues to be aware of
Targeted risk review areas including AD/CVD, duty preference programs, Section 301, Section 232 and forced labor
Import program red flags
