Risk Assurance

Assessment of current state, optimizations and monitoring of your current customs procedures. Non-compliance could result in retroactive duty assessments, withdrawal of customs licenses and rejection of license applications.

 

Logistics and Procedures

Several customs areas, such as bonded warehousing- and transportation-/import-and export procedures, could have a significant impact on your logistics and other business procedures. The lack of the proper customs facilities could slow down your process and put your company in a less competitive position.

 

Supply Chain Management

Supply Chain optimization is an integrated process which should also incorporate indirect tax into supply chain management and design. Elements of Supply Chain optimization could be the reduction of the effective corporate tax rate, but should also include indirect taxes (customs, VAT). Major advantages could be realized in the areas such as, cash flow cost reduction, reduction of administrative- systems and personnel costs and last but not least savings of duties.
