Manufacturing Compliance & Regulations

The customs rules that matter most to manufacturers, and how we deal with them.

Inward Processing Relief

Inward Processing Relief (IPR) lets you import raw materials without paying duty if they are processed here and re-exported as finished goods. We help you use it.

Machinery Import Regulations

We handle the customs entries for industrial machinery, whether it is a permanent import or equipment on trial under temporary admission.

Anti-Dumping Duties

Some imported materials carry anti-dumping or countervailing duties. We check for them before the goods arrive, so the duty is assessed correctly and you do not get an unexpected bill.

Trade Preference Management

We prepare the rules of origin and trade preference documents that reduce the duty on raw materials under UK free trade agreements.
