CUSTOMS TRAINING
&
CONSULTANCY
Documentation & HMRC Customs
Did you know that unless your clearing agent has full access to your systems and files, then the chances are that your business is 100% responsible for the information on your customs entries?
​
-
So, does your business have the knowledge to check the entries your agent processes?
-
Does your business understand the information contained within an entry?
-
Does your business understand the implications of errors and omissions?
-
Does your business understand what is required to be compliant?
-
Does your business know that there are legal tools available in customs to delay, reduce or even eliminate some duties and maybe even import VAT?
-
Does your business know that the Import Vat value is not the Import Duty value?
-
Does your business know that the neither the value for Vat nor the value for Duty is just the value on the commercial invoice?
​
These are all critical but not exclusive aspects of customs. We can offer bespoke training on either the basics Import and Export customs clearing or in-depth training on specific aspects.
If you are unsure of your requirements, we also offer a four-hour customs consultancy to assess your current compliance and processes, identify areas of concern and recommend changes to processes required and suggest the right package of training to get your business compliant and efficient with customs.
​
