This book was written to fill a need for a text which will enable the reader/student to learn the principles of valuation. It will help you to meet the demanding requirements of export and import valuation. Customs and Border Protection expect 99% valuation compliance. Bureau of Industry and Security as well as Bureau of Census expect accuracy in export and import valuation.

The Bureau of Industry and Security states that over 50% of export declarations are incorrect. This book will help to reduce valuation as a value concern.

Valuation is far below the 99% stated to Congress. Under the "reasonable care" requirements of Customs, trained and proficient personnel are expected to provide accuracy of 99%. This book will help attain a higher compliance level and serve as support to your compliance manual.
