  5. Review Tools • Risk Assessment / Risk Matrix • Transactional Testing • Statistical • Non-Statistical

  6. Questions to Consider & Document • Will a risk assessment/risk matrix be used in conjunction with transactional testing? • Frequency of review (i.e., daily, monthly, quarterly, and/or annually)? • Who will conduct the review? • Note: Individuals should NOT be reviewing their own work. • How many items will be reviewed? • What areas (e.g., classification, valuation, special trade programs, other government agencies, etc.) will be included in the review and how will the areas be tested? • How will the reviewed items be tracked? • How will errors be handled? • Who will the results be reported to?

  7. Self-Testing Results • Should be maintained for a 3-year period. • Should be available for review by your Account Manager and/or the ISA team upon request as part of the annual notification process. • Should be reported, at a high level summary, to U.S. Customs and Border Protection as part of the company’s Annual Notification Letter.
