If you don't believe that today's world seems to be growing smaller, ask any of the thousands of companies whose businesses are increasingly affected, whether directly or indirectly, by customs issues. Too many companies give too little thought to this extremely important area, and pay more or less tax than necessary. Sometimes they don’t realise until they face a customs authority audit, and by then it's usually too late.

How can KPMG help your business?

Reducing your tax charge and streamlining administrative requirements are just two elements of customs planning. Some companies find planning and the interaction between national and international legislation confusing, but for those guided by KPMG's Trade & Customs Practice, the ‘ins and outs’ of customs law can become clearer.

We can help you obtain the Authorised Economic Operator ("AEO") certification (a special status of reliable trader, granted by customs authorities, which also brings you a cash-flow advantage in terms of import VAT). We can also give advice on the new customs rules passed in 2013, and which take effect from 1 May 2016 and support with compliance. KPMG's Trade & Customs practice can also help make customs ‘invisible’ by advising you on simplified customs clearance procedures, where these may be appropriate for your company.
