Are British business leaders taking a credit crunch seriously? One thing for certain is that when it comes to the ‘crunch’ leading companies involved in international trade customs duty are constantly looking to reduce costs and improve their working practices to become more efficient.

Thanks to the newly formed partnership between Kewill and e-customs, companies can now get control of their UK import and export procedures, and reduce their landed costs by automating formerly manual processes.
To assist companies in assessing their current procedures and practices, Alun Davies, Managing

Director at e-customs, provides you with a short check list of questions to answer.

 

• Do you outsource customs clearances?
• Do you pay money to a bank or a freight forwarder for the right to use deferment?
• Do you pay any import duty rates in excess of 5%? 
• Do you carry stock in excess of £5million on which duty/VAT was paid on UK arrival? 
• Do you sell goods for export on ex-works terms?
• Do your exported goods contain non-EU parts on which import duty was paid?
  

• Would you like to link together the preparation of export paperwork and the customs declaration automatically?

 

If the answer to any of the above questions is ‘yes’ then we can help you. For free advice on how to get control of your importing and exporting procedures please contact us.
