Trade

Lack of time or expertise in this area of your business may result in unnecessary overpayment of customs duty or excise, or costly delays in clearing goods.

Stage one: Assessing your trade activities

Utilising our data analytics to produce a visual overview of your past four years of import data, we provide valuable insights into your trade activities. Our team can identify refund opportunities, investigate and confirm actual refunds, prepare and lodge refund applications and evaluate average duty rates. A review is completed of all the key factors that affect the customs duty and GST exposure of your cross-border transactions.

These include:

Tariff concessions
Tariff classifications
Customs valuation, particularly for multinational companies and branded goods
The enhanced project by-law scheme
Free trade agreements
Country of origin and preference
Customs compliance

All you need to provide at this stage is a signed letter of authorisation.

Stage two: Eliminating your past duty inefficiencies and risks

Using the information gathered from Stage I, we identify and rectify the following:

Overpayments of duty – to improve your profit margin
Past errors and underpayment of duty – to assist in eliminating risks and their associated penalties, which have exponentially increased in recent years
