Customs information system with selective transaction audit

摘要

A system for generating and auditing customs documents for the importation of goods purchased by a buyer from a seller. The system includes a customs information system database that features records configured to record transaction information identifying the goods purchased, a customs classification of the purchased goods, and a valuation of the purchased goods. The system further includes an audit module configured periodically to audit the information in the records using a set of audit criteria. The audit module selectively audits only records containing transaction information that has been sent to a customs broker to be submitted to a customs authority.
