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.
