Special Customs Procedures for Importing and Exporting

Managing complex customs procedures can be a daunting task for businesses involved in international trade. That's where our expertise in special customs procedures comes in. We offer comprehensive support to help businesses navigate customs requirements and optimize their import and export processes.

Customs Procedures for Importing

Our team of experts is well-versed in customs procedures for importing goods. We assist businesses in understanding and implementing specific procedures such as customs warehousing and inward processing. Customs warehousing allows you to store imported goods in a designated facility without paying customs duties, offering flexibility and cost savings. Inward processing allows for the temporary importation of goods for manufacturing, processing, or repair purposes, providing opportunities for value-added activities.

Special Procedures and Customs Procedure Codes

We have extensive knowledge of special procedures and customs procedure codes, enabling us to guide businesses through the complexities of these processes. Whether it's obtaining the correct customs procedure code for your goods or understanding the implications of specific codes, we ensure compliance with customs regulations and help you leverage the benefits of these procedures.

Customs Procedures for Exporting

When it comes to exporting goods, we provide guidance on customs procedures to streamline the process and ensure compliance. Outward processing allows for the temporary exportation of goods for processing or repair purposes, providing flexibility and cost efficiency. Our experts can help you navigate the intricacies of outward processing, ensuring compliance with customs requirements and maximizing the benefits of this procedure.

Shannon Hawkins, Selo

As of a couple of years ago, we had never done any exports, so the guidance from IFS has been absolutely invaluable. It’s meant we’ve had the knowledge required at each step of the process to achieve our export goals, and their support is going to be invaluable as we seek to reach more markets over the next few years.

Any queries / questions we had along the way were dealt with very well and you were all informative. Your additional help with sending the links for our customer to register for an EORI was also very useful and helped us push the customer in the right direction.
