Customs Duty Advisory

Customs advisory is help for businesses that import or export — getting the classification and valuation right, claiming the exemptions and FTA benefits available, and using the trade-facilitation and export-promotion schemes to lower the cost of trade.

The firm advises on duty, on the Foreign Trade Policy schemes, and on customs disputes, working alongside its import-export-code and RCMC services.

Customs advisory covers the import-export duty questions, including:

• Classification under the Customs Tariff and the duty rate
• Customs valuation and related-party transaction values
• Exemptions, FTA/preferential-origin benefits, and duty drawback
• Export-promotion schemes — Advance Authorisation, EPCG, RoDTEP
• Representation in customs assessments and disputes
