I'm working in a firm that deals with customs documentation. Its kind of important document which might leaks to composition fines when theres any overlook or incorrect details provided. Initially, we've got a customer whom required us to declare the documentation for them but had divert to their nominated hauliers later. Those who are declaring the permit should be well train personnel. Ok.. maybe they are not but should have at least the simple knowledge ?
Ok.. give some of you some free knowledge. In customs documentation, we should know what invoice terms are to be use in the declaration. This haulier instead of getting the correct infor from their customers, they just declare the cargo value in. Noted that this is a gst invoice documentation, they should be aware of the consequences when customs random checks their permit. Even the year end audit.
Its my job to check the documentation when they submitted to me. Not sure whether is it i'm too kind or too kpo to check the documents that leads to the discrepancies + incorrect declaration that i've found. I told my boss & ask whether is it our job to highlight to them or should we just inform the customer direct. I just feel that alertness is a must in whatever things that we do & of cos that involves the decision making. I'm not sure what outcome we will get in when the later found out. Hope they know what to do & does the necesary .. God Bless the customer won't get any compound.. mm.. i guess the penalty will go direct to the declarant instead bah which i doubt the customer will accept ? .. :
