SPECIAL OFFER: UK ONLY
Get a free Declaration Health Check
Langdon's Customs Consultants are offering a free-of-charge “health check” on your declarations. We can check a period that you (the customer) have identified, or we can pick a period and check the declarations that have been made looking for any errors or improvements.
How the health check works:
FOR FREE
What we will do for free...
We will review a selected amount of customs declarations for the UK only, across an agreed specified time period for any declaration errors. This involves cross-checking the following against documentation:
- Commodity codes
- Procedure codes
- Valuation details
- Amounts
- Incoterms
FOR A FEE
What we will do for a fee...
If an overpayment of duty is found:
Our consultants can look at further entries for up to three years and submit the repayment to HMRC on behalf of the customer, for a small percentage of the repayment amount.*
Your Langdon consultant will also check for any missed saving opportunities with things like preference/quotas or tariff suspensions.
*The customer must agree to help with providing information that consultants request and agree that any overpayments of duty found will be submitted to HMRC by ourselves with a % fee taken from the repayment.
