This element of our support provision focuses on the needs related to supply-chain procedures.
The activity analyses Customs available regimes and practices both in dispatch and destination markets with a view to identifying the most appropriate approach that would result in maximising economic benefit and enhance competitive advantage.
In today's competitive environment, outsourcing of production and the procurement of components and materials is very much part of the global scene, introducing substantial economic benefits. But those benefits can be undermined by a lack of understanding as to the role and purpose of trade agreements and by the use of inappropriate Customs regimes.
Logistics also play a major role in the capture of global trade benefits, and, again, benefits that can be derived from the adoption of best practice logistic procedures are potentially being lost.
Our role is one of a 'partnership' with companies in helping to research and structure the best supply-chain procedures for the needs and ambitions of the company's objectives. This is a strategic provision with the focus on compliance and profitability.
This is a chargeable service.
