The Customs Consultancy

REFERENCES

Customs Manager, Pioneer Europe NV
"It has been a pleasure to work with The Customs Consultancy - they have provided guidance and advice, which has resulted in positive negotiations with the Belgian Customs Authority, and a substantial reclaim of duty. Their depth of knowledge and understanding of Customs Community legislation proved to be invaluable, together with their ability to put this into plain English, has in turn, resulted in improved understanding within Pioneer."


Financial Director, Kyocera Mita (UK) Limited
"I would like to thank the staff of The Customs Consultancy for successfully arranging the repayment of customs duty on behalf of Kyocera Mita in the UK. It is clear that your company is a specialist in the customs field and that your team is dedicated to the needs of its clients. Although Kyocera Mita had looked at reducing its duty liability in relation to tariff classification, the subject of import valuation was not one that had properly been considered. I was particularly pleased with the results achieved by The Customs Consultancy, as I had always considered import valuation to be a 'no go area"


Senior General Manager, Kyocera Mita Europe B.V.
"I would like to thank the staff of The Customs Consultancy for all your efforts, which have led to Kyocera Mita Europe being able to secure a significant customs duty repayment. In particular, I was impressed at The Customs Consultancy's ability to ensure that Dutch Customs initial ruling not to repay the duty concerned was overturned. I would be pleased to recommend the services of The Customs Consultancy to other importers seeking similar successes."


Finance Manager, Kubota (UK) Ltd
"The Customs Consultancy has provided Kubota UK with a level of support that has by far exceeded our expectations. By reviewing and correcting our Commodity Codes usage, The Customs Consultancy has improved our systems and therefore our overall compliance and relationship between HMRC and ourselves. The Customs Consultancy's service and response is of excellent quality and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to other automotive importers."


Tax and Treasury Manager, KCOM Group plc
"The Customs Consultancy approached KCOM indicating that the company was entitled to a significant duty refund and that HMRC would be required to pay interest on the tax repayment. We were advised that the work could be undertaken on a success only basis and that very little of our company's time would be required to bring about the refund. Had we not known The Customs Consultancy's sales director, Piers Loxton Edwards, for some years, this might have sounded too good to be true. However, as there was no investment risk on our part, we asked for the work to be undertaken. We can confirm that everything that The Customs Consultancy advised us turned out to be correct. KCOM has received a significant duty refund, which was achieved very quickly and with next to no involvement on our part. We would be pleased to recommend the services of The Customs Consultancy to other importers."


Head of Logistics, Ann Summers Ltd
"I would like to thank Sarah James of The Customs Consultancy for bringing her expertise to the business and help us resolve some of our challenges. Her area of knowledge around classifications and duty was extremely helpful and not only generated savings for us but also improved our knowledge - a true win/win. I am more than happy to recommend your services to other importers if the need ever arose."


Managing Director, Richard Hochfeld Limited
"I am pleased to say that The Customs Consultancy has been helping Richard Hochfeld Ltd to reclaim duty. The claims were prepared quickly and efficiently by The Customs Consultancy, with a minimum amount of input from RH employees, and with complete discretion and professionalism. It is also clear to us that the excellent relationship The Customs Consultancy have with their correspondents at HMRC, contributes to efficient and prompt resolution of questions raised. I would be very happy to recommend The Customs Consultancy to other importers wishing to reclaim duty."


Managing Director, Norton Folgate Marketing Limited
"The Customs Consultancy has successfully managed the repayment of a considerable amount of customs duty on our behalf. The repayments that have been arranged result from an analysis of the values that Norton Folgate declares to Customs, which was something that we had not considered before. The Customs Consultancy acted with professionalism at all times and I would not hesitate in recommending the company to other businesses."


Financial Director, MM (UK) Limited
"MM has started to receive duty refunds from HM Revenue & Customs as a result of the repayment claims that The Customs Consultancy has submitted on our behalf. It is particularly gratifying to recover duty on fruit that has been cleared at the port, when a proportion has been found to be below the required standard at a later date. As you will recall, when we started the recovery process we were not aware that this was possible."
