duty recovery reviews

Step 1: We remotely interrogate your HMRC declaration data

Step 2: Research product specifications working closely with the importer and suppliers

Step 3: Identify accurate tariff classifications for your current and past products

Step 4: Using our expert knowledge & experience, we challenge existing practice for your benefit

Step 5: Submit a duty reclaim to HMRC on your behalf

We have retrieved up to 25% of a client’s total three year duty spend available for recovery in the past. As you’d expect, this will vary from business to business and we will be able to give you a better indication of this after an initial consultation. 

All our reviews are conducted on a results-based fee structure – meaning that our fee ensures that we, in fact, don't cost your business anything, we simply take an agreed percentage of what we recoup for you.

The reviews require very limited input, time and information from you – a simple authority letter & agreement to carry out a review on your behalf and contact details for your freight forwarder is all we need. We have the knowledge and expertise to progress.

The majority of our customers fully understand the customs and duty process, many have their own internal import specialist teams. What we bring to the party are the tools, time and highly specialist skills to carry out the forensic reviews at a level far beyond simple tariff code checking. We look at thousands of pieces of information, sifting through precedent, changes to legislation and regularly challenge current practice. Our forensic approach and processes ensure our success even in ‘well trodden’ or ‘tightly managed’ areas, where others may have been unable to recover overpaid duty previously.
