Customs Consulting & Compliance Experts
​
Paying import duties on goods is a serious responsibility when managing the monetary success of your business.
Penalties due to the misclassification of tariff codes or incorrect product valuation can lead to significant monetary payouts on customs back duty. Our Consulting team can help you avoid penalties and in some cases, receive refunds. Our qualified professionals can provide exact rates on import and export duties that will eliminate penalties and prepare your organisation for post verification audits.
Classification: Accurate Duty Payments
​
The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) classifies every item in existence. Properly classifying an item’s tariff code and the rate for import duties is an extensive process requiring specialists with years of experience.
Customs Consulting
​
Our Consultants have expertise in trade compliance. Our qualified professionals can provide importers with the precise classification of their goods, guidance on origin determination and the valuation of imported goods. The accuracy of the classification directly affects your duty payments. A correct classification mitigates the risk of potential penalty exposure and overpaying duties and taxes.

Now that the UK has left the EU/ Customs Union it is anticipated that there will be an additional 400 million Customs Declarations required each year at a cost to industry of £13bn. Many companies who trade solely with the EU do not have the knowledge, software or capacity to deal with the new customs regime. It is imperative that companies understand the level of complexity and what is required to ensure that trade with the EU stays as constant as possible. We are well placed to handle all your customs declarations for both import and export. This includes the facility to process T1 Transit documents, which many freight forwarders are not in a position to complete.
