Foreign Trade Consultancy
In foreign trade, cost is usually determined not at the customs gate but much earlier — when the contract is drafted, the delivery term is chosen, the supplier is selected. We do not merely execute your operations; we interpret the legislation specifically for your business and make your processes predictable through the right choice of procedure and cost planning. Our aim is not to solve problems when they arise, but to build a structure in which they never arise.
Legislation consultancy
Customs and foreign trade legislation changes quickly, and not every communiqué concerns every company. We filter published regulations against your product group and your operation, and report only those that affect you — in plain language and with their concrete impact spelled out.
Procedure and cost planning
The same goods generate entirely different costs under standard importation, customs warehousing, inward processing or temporary admission. We examine your business model and set out in figures what each procedure would gain you, optimising your duty and levy burden within the legal framework.
Contracts, Incoterms and delivery terms
The difference between EXW and DDP is not only who pays the freight; it also changes customs responsibility, insurance risk and which items enter the customs value. We assess the choice of delivery term in your sale and purchase contracts together with its customs impact, and eliminate choices that would prove expensive later.
Process design and risk analysis
We map the customs steps in your supply chain end to end and set out in a written flow which document, which permit and which control is required at each point. We put in place the controls that will minimise penalty and delay risk, and make sure your team can run that flow correctly even without us.
Retrospective review and audit readiness
Customs audits can arrive years after the operation is complete. We scan your past declarations and identify files carrying risk in terms of HS code, value and origin; where appropriate we assess with you how to close that risk through voluntary disclosure before it turns into a penalty.
Frequently asked
We work under two models depending on the scope of the need: project-based for a specific subject, or a monthly retainer for companies wanting continuous access. The first consultation is free of charge; we determine together in that meeting which model suits you.
No. We also provide consultancy to companies that run their clearance operations through another broker or in-house. In that case our role is to audit the process, report risks and answer your legislative questions with the source cited.
AEO status brings concrete advantages — green channel treatment, reduced guarantees and fewer physical controls — but it expects a serious level of internal process and documentation maturity. We examine your transaction volume, record-keeping discipline and financial structure and tell you honestly whether the status would genuinely add value; if it would, we are at your side throughout the application.
We do not bury you in newsletters. Because we know your product group and your operation, we send you only the regulations that concern you, together with what they mean and what you need to do. Where a change has an urgent effect, we call you directly rather than wait.
