Background

Customs planning begins at the drawing board on which the product is designed. A marginal variation in specification may be commercially insignificant but, for customs purposes, it may be critical. Likewise, the inclusion or omission of certain components or materials may have a fundamental effect on the liability to duty of a product. Some countries impose high rates of duty on - or even prohibit altogether - goods which could be assembled or completed locally.



How can we help?
  • to establish the critical features of your products for customs purposes;
     
  • to determine the duties applicable to your imports and exports and ensure that you and your customers pay no more than necessary; and
     
  • to cost your products accurately.
