Consultancy and Customs Compliance

The customs regime is increasingly complex, and the penalties for non-compliance can be severe. HMRC is increasing its audits and visits to traders, with fines of up to £2,500 for each individual error. Even so, few organisations have in-house compliance experts. So it makes sense to talk to someone who knows the system inside-out.

Drawing on over 30 years’ experience, we can provide technical assistance and advice on any aspect of supply chain and freight management. We’re especially expert in compliance, customs regulation and risk assessment.

• On-site audit of your current import and export practices by our former senior Customs staff, to identify any compliance issues.
• Product classification advice and follow-up with Customs for rulings to establish correct rates of duty.
• Appropriate customs procedures, to achieve duty and demurrage savings.
• Fiscal Representation
• Improve your cash flow, and provide consistent delivery lead times.
• Eliminate financial and service penalties for regulatory non-compliance.
• Technical assistance on import/export license requirements.
