Customs consultancy

Compliance built into the everyday.

We analyse requirements and responsibilities, prepare the documentation and support implementation so your team can apply, review and evidence the way it works.

We turn the rules into operations that work.

We define the workflow for each authorisation, handle requests from customs and organise follow-up so that obligations become part of how the business really works.

AEOApproved exporterWarehouses

Prepare operations before problems appear.

We work with importers, exporters and logistics operators who need to apply for, maintain or review an authorisation, resolve questions of classification, origin or customs value, or strengthen their compliance model.

We tailor each project to the company’s volume, risks and organisation. The result is a documented model, with defined owners and evidence, that can be built into daily work and sustained over time.

Let’s talk

What’s included

AEO and ongoing maintenance.

We assess the starting point, coordinate preparation of the application and support the audits, reviews and improvement plans tied to the authorisation.

REX and approved exporter.

We study the applicable rules of origin, the documentary evidence and the internal workflow needed to prove preferential origin correctly.

Customs warehouses, guarantees and centralised clearance.

We analyse the feasibility of the chosen arrangement and design the operational workflow, records and responsibilities needed to put it in place.

Tariff classification, origin and customs value.

We cross-check product sheets, invoices, contracts and technical data so the position declared is backed by consistent evidence. When the code really matters, we prepare and file the Binding Tariff Information (BTI) application in your company’s name.

Audits and training.

We check how the model works in practice, turn findings into concrete actions and pass the method on to the teams involved.

Frequently asked questions

Our supplier has already provided a tariff code. Should we review it?

Yes, if its basis is unclear, technical information is missing or the code relates to another market. The supplier’s code is a starting point, but it needs to be checked against the product’s characteristics and the nomenclature applicable to the transaction. A review requires a precise description, relevant details of function and composition, technical documentation where appropriate, and the proposed code. If decisive information is missing, we identify it before reaching a conclusion. You can start with the product references causing the most uncertainty, and we will agree the scope of the review with you.

When is it worthwhile applying for a customs authorisation?

When it addresses a real operational need and the business can maintain the conditions for its use. Before considering an application, compare the current position with the expected change: transaction frequency, goods, workflows, existing controls and staff involvement. A simplification is not useful merely because it exists, nor does it remove the work needed to maintain it. We consider benefits and requirements together to assess whether proceeding makes sense. To begin, tell us how you operate today, where you encounter difficulties and which authorisations you already use, if any.

What will a preventive review of our operations give us?

A useful assessment should help you decide what to correct, in which order and with what information. The review can focus on a sample of case files, a product family or a specific workflow, depending on the problem to be addressed. We compare documentation with daily practice to identify inconsistencies, missing controls and tasks that depend on unclear criteria. The scope and the format of the findings are agreed at the outset. If you send us representative examples and tell us which questions or issues recur within your team, we will propose where to start.

Should we review our approach when goods, suppliers or operations change?

Check what has changed before reusing previous conclusions. A different composition, manufacturing process, country or set of commercial terms may affect the information supporting customs clearance. Not every change requires a complete new analysis, but it is necessary to identify which conclusions remain valid. We compare the previous situation with the new one and specify the points needing further documentation or review. To get started, all we need is an example of the change and the product references or case files you expect it to apply to.
