Customs Services
For your Business
Please note that we are not the HMRC tax office; their contact number is 0300 200 3700.
Our range of services are designed to assist importers, and other businesses involved in an international supply chain, act both compliantly and to their best advantage. In doing so we consider a number of specific issues and tailor our services to your individual needs.
Because import taxes are applied at the time of import it is vital to ensure that the transaction trail is properly planned prior to import to ensure the correct taxes are paid. A pivotal role for any business is to ensure that mistakes do not affect the bottom line profit, which is why we work to ensure correct taxes are paid and look for any savings that can be made.
In our experience, few businesses regularly review the processes and information provided to their freight agents prior to import declarations being submitted on their behalf. Given that businesses may miss compliance issues or worse, opportunities to make or save money, our low-cost review service can help you to identify issues and opportunities to maximise revenue. Call us on 0161 826 8926 or fill in our online form for more information.
Because International Trade is a complex area, it is sometimes the case that assessments may be raised. We are very experienced in:
Given HMRC very often issue assessments to focus the mind, we recommend that any business that receives an assessment reviews it at an early stage and we can assist with this.
Alternatively, we can offer in-house training or workshops which are designed to raise awareness surrounding all things relating to Customs and International VAT for your key supply chain staff. The benefits of such sessions are that not only are they tailored to your business but they promote understanding and awareness within the different parts of your business supply chain so that matters are handled and considered more carefully.
Delivered at your premises we do not limit the number of attendees and we often find the sessions often generate discussions which not only identify savings and efficiencies but foster understanding within the business itself.
As former Customs Officers, we understand what checks HMRC are likely to make and why and we can assist with what can be a stressful process. We are happy to provide pre-audit advice and even attend inspection visits.
We operate a no obligation free helpline in order to discuss any transaction advice you may have. We can give you an initial view on any Customs issue and provide you with proposals on how to take things forward.
