Import taxes are applied at the point of entry, so putting the correct documentation and transaction details in place beforehand can influence financial outcomes. Our UK customs solutions focus on pre-import planning to confirm that all of your customs declarations and taxes are prepared and managed properly throughout the customs procedures. This reduces the potential for errors that could impact your profitability during customs clearance. Throughout the process, we strive to identify potential areas where you could make tax savings while maintaining compliance with customs legal best practices.
Many businesses do not routinely review their customs process and the information provided to their freight agents before customs declarations are submitted. This can lead to compliance issues or overlooked opportunities to optimise processes. Our low-cost customs review service allows you to identify areas of improvement and potential cost savings. This service is designed to help your business operate smoothly within the global trade environment by handling customs clearance with precision. 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 or that HMRC raises a ‘Right To Be Heard Letter’ prior to an assessment to focus minds. We are very experienced in:
Given that HMRC very often issues assessments to draw attention to potential compliance issues, we recommend that any business that receives either a Right to be Heard letter or an assessment reviews it at an early stage. We can assist in ensuring that your business customs are optimised for full compliance.
We provide in-house training and workshops designed to enhance the knowledge of key staff involved in your customs process and international VAT management. We differentiate ourselves from other providers who provide general training as our training sessions are tailored to your business needs, fostering understanding across the various components of your supply chain. This proactive approach not only aids in efficient customs solutions but also promotes a comprehensive awareness that can lead to long-term operational improvements. The sessions, conducted at your premises, are designed to engage participants and encourage discussions that may reveal potential savings and efficiencies.
As former Customs Officers, we understand what checks HMRC is 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. Our services are grounded in a practical understanding of customs procedures, preparing your business for any reviews by HMRC.
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.
