Customs Duty Optimisation

There are often opportunities for companies to reduce supply chain and tax costs through the optimisation of customs duties and other international trade related overheads.
 
The first step of undertaking such a reduction in costs is having visibility to the true customs duties and international trade related overheads. Once these costs are understood, there are several programs and strategies that can be implemented to optimise these costs.
 
Cost optimisation of these areas can create a strong competitive advantage for companies with an international supply chain.
