When dealing in imports and exports, compliance is essential. A risk report goes in-depth into the processes and procedures involved in your handling of imports, exports, movement and storage. This kind of check is designed to identify areas of risk that may result in government intervention. A risk report forms a crucial part of your overall compliance outlook. Companies are expected to be proactive when it concerns compliance, and as such, a compliance audit questionnaire which takes a look at your international supply chain is usually the best way to discern any issues that might generate unwanted scrutiny. EBIT-MC am able to help you create and complete a risk report.

Classifying all imports and exports correctly is of vital importance. Using the correct commodity code ensures you pay the correct amount of VAT, duty, excise or levies under UK and European law (this may change if the UK leaves the EU with no deal). I understand that it’s important you understand product classification and how to correctly classify something - for instance, to correctly classify a pair of trousers, you need to know an assortment of details about them, including what they’re made of! Correctly classifying products ensures that you don’t receive any fines or penalties.
It’s not uncommon for import and export violations to occur accidentally - it’s a complicated business. A voluntary disclosure of such a mistake can be a mitigating factor in determining if penalties will be sanctioned against you and your company. After all, voluntarily disclosing you made a mistake is a sign you want to comply with legislation. Knowing when to use voluntary disclosure can be tricky however, we can assess the position your business is in.
