Related-Party Valuation Review Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A client imports from its parent company at a transfer price, and customs may ask why the price is acceptable. The agent compares the declared values for related-party imports with comparable transactions, such as sales to unrelated buyers and contract terms, and with adjustments such as royalties or assists. It flags outliers where the declared value is much lower than comparable prices. For each outlier, it requests supporting records from the client, such as price lists, contracts, cost sheets and transfer pricing reports. It then reassesses the position with the new evidence. If the evidence still does not support the price, it asks for more records and shows the broker the gap. It drafts a file note explaining why the price is or is not acceptable. Edge case: price changes within a quarter. The broker approves the position.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

A value is supported when it falls within the range of comparable prices or has a documented adjustment. Outliers beyond 10 percent require evidence.

  • Flag values more than 10 percent below the comparable range
  • Check royalties, assists and commissions on every related-party import
  • Ask for records in one list
  • Mark a position unsupported when evidence is missing after two requests

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Outlier threshold (default 10 percent)
  • Comparable sources
  • Records requested
  • Review schedule
  • File note format

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Broker approves the valuation position
  • Broker approves requests for records from the client

Hard limits

  • Never give a legal opinion on transfer pricing
  • Do not alter declared values without the broker

It stops when

  • Done: file note approved for each outlier
  • Stop: client will not provide records, report the risk to the broker

An example run

What happensThe agent reviews 40 entries from a parent company. Thirty-three are within the range of sales to unrelated buyers. Seven are 14 to 22 percent below. It requests contracts and cost sheets for them. The cost sheets support the price for 5 because of volume terms, but 2 lack records. It asks again, and then shows the broker the remaining gap. The broker approves 5 notes and escalates 2.
