Customs and Excise Duty
Already complex rules and procedures relating to how companies and individuals import and export their goods are set to become ever more uncertain over the coming months. Whether you import or export from outside the UK or move goods around the EU, these changes will throw-up new challenges that may bring additional costs and administrative burdens.
Here at MHA MacIntyre Hudson we seek to offer customs duty solutions that may help make a business become more cost effective and streamlined. We seek to assist businesses in understanding and utilising more efficiently the existing customs regimes and Special Procedures. Additionally, we offer real-world customs solutions that may help to mitigate the challenges and changes that lie ahead. However, regardless of Brexit, all firms can gain from considering how the existing customs regimes and procedures may benefit them.
We are uniquely and expertly placed to assist on such customs duty areas as:
- Import and export procedures outside the European Union.
- Customs Special Procedures – also known as CPEIs (Customs Procedures with an Economic Impact) – such as Inward and Outward Processing, Customs Warehousing and Temporary Admission.
- Authorised Economic Operator Status – whether this regime offers a tangible benefit to the potential applicant.
- Guidance on the correct classification of goods within the harmonised Customs Tariff (including the preference system) and the correct Customs Valuation methods.
- Advice on excise duties to importers, local brewers, distillers and wholesalers.
Whilst the UK’s withdrawal from the EU and the new Union Customs Code changes will no doubt be on every businesses’ mind, the benefit of understanding and utilising the various customs regimes available to business, in the right and correct circumstances, can be of real and immediate value and assist in taking potential solutions forward.
