ALREADY complex rules and procedures relating to how companies and individuals
import and export goods are set to become more uncertain over the coming months.
Brexit, and the proposed transitional period, has been shrouded in ever increasing degrees of confusion and uncertainty within the customs trade environment.
Whether importing or exporting from outside the UK or moving goods around the EU, these changes will throw up new challenges that may bring additional costs and administrative burdens to businesses. However, regardless of Brexit, all firms can gain from considering how the existing customs regimes and procedures may benefit and add value.
MHA MacIntyre Hudson offers real world customs duty solutions that may help a business
to identify streamlining solutions and business efficiencies. In response to the changing
customs landscape, MHA has expanded its Customs and Excise Duty service offering and welcomes Lucy Sutcliffe to the firm. Prior to joining MHA, Lucy held a senior customs strategy role within HM Revenue & Customs.
Now, MHA MacIntyre Hudson is uniquely and expertly placed to assist on such customs
duty areas as:
* Import and export procedures into and outside the European Union.
* Customs Special Procedures (also known as 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.
While the UK’s withdrawal from the EU and the new Union Customs Code changes will no doubt be on the mind of every business, 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.
A degree of certainty can be gained by entrusting a specialist such as MHA MacIntyre Hudson to remove some of the uncertainty and the firm welcomes the opportunity to discuss your individual requirements and provide bespoke advice.
