Customs Health Check

Stay compliant. Save on duties. Streamline your customs processes.

Business West Customs Health Check

Importing or exporting goods brings opportunities - but also the critical responsibility to meet UK customs regulations. Errors in declarations, classification, or valuation can lead to costly penalties, delays, and reputational damage.

To help businesses stay compliant and identify potential savings, Business West is introducing the Customs Health Check, a comprehensive review of your customs operations.

What the Customs Health Check covers:

Our experts will review your current and historic customs compliance practices, assess risks, and identify opportunities to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.

 

Areas include:

  • Classification accuracy: Ensuring correct tariff codes are applied to avoid misdeclarations and penalties.
  • Procedure code verification: Confirming correct use of customs procedures, special arrangements, and reliefs.
  • Valuation and Incoterms: Reviewing customs valuations and advising on Incoterms that work in your favour.
  • Origin and preference: Checking your methods for determining and declaring origin to maximise duty relief opportunities.
  • Authorisations and certifications: Assessing eligibility for trusted trader programmes, special procedures, or Free Trade Agreement benefits.
  • Export controls and sanctions compliance: Safeguarding your business against regulatory breaches.
