There can be different reasons for companies not to have specialists on the payroll that can keep track of all things customs related. Today’s overheated labour market can be one. Customs specialists are hard to find. Another reason can be a temporary rise in the workload due to unforeseen demand or a project for which specific customs knowledge is needed. Or maybe your business is venturing into new territories outside the European Union, creating the need for specialised customs knowledge.
The Risks of Not Having Customs Knowledge
Many companies find out they don’t have the customs knowledge they need after the fact. They have shipments that get stuck at customs or are faced with fines. It costs more money to solve these problems than to prevent them. Reasons for fines include using the wrong HS Codes or declaring the wrong Country of Origin for your goods.
Your supply chain may be operating at a suboptimal speed. Having the correct licenses and permits can speed up your supply chain processes and positively affect your cash flow. Our Interim Specialists can help you.
