Hiring Us
GCA is not structured to make you profit in and doesn’t directly generate revenue, but our expertise can save you from costly fines, penalties, delays, and other adverse impacts on your operations.
Companies proactive about trade compliance are generally better off than those who are reactive. In other words, investing in compliance before facing issues like shipment seizures by U.S. Customs or visits from enforcement officials can save companies from bigger problems.
GCA has developed compliance programs costing anywhere from $10,000 to $100,000 or more. Everything is related to the size, scope, and volume of the tasking.
GCA is services are generally more cost-effective compared to attorneys performing similar functions. Sometime, attorneys can slow down the issue with government actions waiting on approvals from upper management. While sometimes you might need a lawyer for trade compliance, we can recommend excellent attorneys when necessary.
GCA is happy to discuss pricing and cost estimates. Just schedule a no-charge consultation. GCA is willing to listen to everyone’s situation and if GCA cannot help we will find you someone who can. GCA understands each situation is different, so price structures are variable, often depending on the size of the job. Most consulting firms are very specific to certain size companies, GCA will accept work from every size company. Please reach out to us, and we will be happy to talk with you and discuss a price structure that works for you and your company.
GCA knows that time is money, so GCA will try to expedite every situation, but the government is slow. GCA provides in-depth solutions rather than quick fixes. Our expertise can save time, but effective solutions require a thorough approach.
