With over 50 years’ experience in all aspects of customs and duty, the expert team at The Customs People is in the best position to ensure your business operates efficiently and is compliant with all regulations relating to customs and excise.
We have a comprehensive understanding of the global import/export system and can provide a range of services aimed at helping your business in a friendly and personable manner. You can guarantee that your business will soon be operating on a model, which increases efficiency and maximises revenue within the customs and excise system.
Our services
If your business imports or exports through customs, we can help you to add value by helping you with the following:
-
Assisting in saving on the cost of duties
-
Maximising cash flow through HMRC’s many customs tax reliefs
-
Representing you on HMRC matters
-
Assisting you in obtaining AEO-authorised status
Other duties, such as anti-dumping duty and excise duty are “sticking” duties, which are irrecoverable and can significantly impact the bottom line profits of your company. Our customs duty consultants can also work alongside businesses to minimise expenses, ensuring costs are paid effectively.
