Cross-border Risk Audit

Paperwork errors cost more than our work

The truth is that one error in a CN code can stop transport at the Koroszczyn terminal for 3 or 4 days. At Lublin Union GR & Audit, we see this every week. In October 2024 alone, we analyzed 14 cases where a net weight discrepancy of just 12 kilograms caused documentation to be returned for correction. We check your export declarations before the driver picks up the waybill. We look for gaps where others only see routine fields.

Numbers don't lie – we check the facts

Our audit is not about reading theories of foreign trade. A team of 6 specialists from the Lublin office takes your last 47 invoices and checks them against the customs tariff point by point. In the last quarter, we detected 83 errors in commodity classification that could have resulted in administrative penalties. We focus on real threats. If your company ships machine parts, we check whether the invoice description suggests dual-use goods, which is currently the most common reason for blockades.

A report instead of fluff

After the work is finished, you won't receive a thick binder describing the regulations. You will receive a specific list of changes, usually from 5 to 9 points, which you must implement in your accounting or warehouse system. We suggest how to change item descriptions so that the customs officer has no doubts during the first inspection. We reduce document verification time from the typical 6 hours to less than 45 minutes because we know how to prepare papers so they are clear for the office.

Experience from the Lublin area

We have been active on the market since 2017 and know the specifics of the eastern border better than Warsaw corporations. We have analyzed 156 contracts for local furniture and food producers. We know that the border is not just a line on a map, but specific people and procedures that change from month to month. Our analysis takes into account current guidelines from November 2024, not those from two years ago. We will honestly tell you if your documents are in order or if they require immediate repair.

Time savings and peace of mind

Cooperation with us is an investment in supply continuity. The average return on an audit is about 3 months, taking into account the lack of downtime fees for carriers. We respect your time, which is why we only need 2 hours for the first meeting and initial assessment of documentation. We don't promise miracles, but we guarantee that after our check you will know exactly where you stand. No fluff about theory, just hard data and specific solutions for your business.

Heads-up: It is best to conduct an audit before signing a new, large foreign contract to avoid surprises during the first shipment.
