Mobile Notary Services
I provide flexible notarial services at your home or office to officiate vital documents requiring certification. I pride myself on flexible scheduling and responsive coordination of cost-efficient notarizations wherever most convenient for you throughout Orange County - your office, home, a neutral location, etc. Same day availability in many cases. Please inquire! As a licensed notary public insured and bonded in California, I specialize in the following services on-site:
Acknowledgments - I can formally witness your signature on legal documents like contracts, affidavits, sworn statements, business agreements, and powers of attorney, affirming your identity, willingness, and comprehension.
Oaths and Verifications - I offer administrations of verbal oaths or affirmations, certifying individuals' sincerity and truthfulness of intended actions or facts stated.
Document Signing Witness - If needing an impartial official witness present at a signing for later attestation, I can observe executions, discuss intent, and sign as witness.
Signature Witnessing - Even witnessing signatures alone on forms, I can officially sign as notarial witness to transactions completed without my direct oversight.
Tariff Classification
I leverage my experience to accurately determine correct classification codes for your imported or exported goods. Proper classifications are crucial for calculating expected duties and taxes, assessing restrictions, and more. I stay current on up-to-date HTS codes and customs guidelines to provide precise commodity categorization.
Duty and Tax Optimization
Through continual review of your import costs, I work to minimize tax and duty liabilities by identifying opportunities to qualify shipments under free trade agreements or preferential duty programs. My compliance recommendations enable optimized rates, cashflow improvements, and greater competitive pricing power.
Compliance Assessment
Via comprehensive process and documentation audits, I evaluate the health of your import and export operations against U.S. customs regulatory standards. By pinpointing areas of non-compliance risk or deficiency through entry sampling, I then advise customized solutions for remediation through policy and procedure adjustments.
