International Trade Solutions Ltd - Managing Risks and Minimising Customs Costs

 

Greetings!


As we approach the end of the current financial year and head into the new one, this month's edition of "Anything to Declare?" focuses on the opportunities that Customs Planning can bring to businesses in the financial year ahead. We discuss tactics that could help businesses save money but we also discuss the risks that Customs Planning could help to mitigate.

 

Our other items discuss a recent landmark ECJ ruling concerning the importation of Pharmaceutical and Chemical products and what products qualify for duty-free treatment, the extension of the Grace Period for the Import Control System and an overview of the latest Anti Dumping Measures that have come into force this month.

Customs Planning in the new Financial Year   

 

Effective management and planning of EC PlanningCustoms Law enables businesses to not only maximise potential benefits but also to mitigate their risks. What better opportunity for businesses to be proactive than the end of the current and beginning of the next Financial Year?

Have you mitigated your risks?

Every level of your international sourcing operations opens up its own specific customs-risks.  You may well have looked at these risks at some time but any business changes such as sourcing a new product, sourcing from a new supplier, switching country of supply, changing to your contractual terms can have a significant impact on your compliance risks.

With the raising of the bar of customs compliance associated with the Modernised Customs Code (MCC), Senior Accounting Officer (SAO) or the introduction of Authorised Economic Operator (AEO) certification, the penalties for non-compliance could result in your business being regarded as a weak link in the international supply chain and could see your competitors step in to fill the void.

Effective Customs Planning enables you to identify and mitigate your risks whilst maintaining and increasing your competitiveness on the international plane.
