Background
A challenging business climate may be
an ongoing characteristic of the chemicals industry's future. With
a predomination of high-density, low-value products, supply chain
management is one of the industry's few remaining opportunities
for efficiency and earnings. The supply chain represents a significant
portion of a typical chemical company's cost structure—generally
55 percent to 70 percent.
Chemical companies have a huge range
of company sizes, products, applications and markets. Customs and
international trade issues will depend on size and the very specific
market areas for the products.
Customs and international trade issues
Clients in the chemical industry operate
in the face constant anti-dumping duty actions and non-tariff trade
barriers. Tariff classification is also highly complex and problematic.
We have significant experience in all these areas.
Solutions to help you succeed
Because so many chemicals are price sensitive
- particularly in the commodity markets any reduction in freight
and duty costs has a huge impact on profitability.
In any one product,ther emay be relatively
few competitors globally so once again
any edge that can be obtained from customs
planning could be crucial to gaining
a competitive edge.
Our particular skill lies in joining-up
chemical industry supply chains in a customs
efficient fashion.
