We all want to remain fully compliant in international trade and reap the rewards, but regulations are becoming increasingly complex. From agricultural restrictions to health and safety regulations to Customs and valuation – not to mention aviation security and counter terrorism measures – the scope continues to increase.
As a result, penalties for non-compliance include substantial fines, greater Customs and Governmental examinations, negative publicity and a slow and unpredictable supply chain. Drawing on over 30 years’ experience, we provide unrivalled assistance and advice on any aspect of supply chain management.
In the USA, as a Licensed Customs Broker, we are experienced in Customs law, classification, the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, FDA rules and freight regulations. We are the professional representative for both importers and exporters.
In the UK, HMRC is increasing its audits and visits to traders, with fines of up to £2,500 for each individual error. Are you aware of the changes to the Union Customs Code since May 2016?
It makes sense to talk to someone who knows the system inside-out.
