WORRIED ABOUT A CUSTOMS AUDIT?
Many of our clients have been asking us to undertake audits of their customs, import and export compliance, or to help them with repayment claims, or provide advice on disputes with UK Customs.
We have found ways to save them money and make their procedures more robust. We have taken away the worries and saved time by handling Customs disputes on their behalf.
Would you like to benefit as well? Contact us now.
Are you aware that UK Customs are taking a strong interest in whether businesses are using IPR correctly?? Do you know that this follows hot on the heels of a number of recent cases where Customs have successfully demanded customs duty and import VAT on goods even though they were actually exported?? This is because the exporting businesses using IPR failed to operate the IPR arrangements correctly!!!
Let us take a look at how you are operating your Customs authorisations - IPR, OPR, warehousing - even your valuation, classification and origin rulings - before Customs do! Why not take a day of training with us - whether you are already authorised, are thinking about using a customs relief or need a ruling for your business or just want to find out more about the benefits - and the responsibilities. Call us now 02392 354 421.
If you have already been contacted by Customs you need help NOW. As well as training, we represent businesses in their correspondence, meetings and negotiations with Customs as well.
Contact us for an initial discussion.
