Accelerating time to market for meat products

When the advent of Brexit put a stop to free circulation of goods between the EU and the UK, the meat producer outsourced their customs formalities to brokers. This third-party intervention was adding up to a day to their transport time to the EU, reducing the shelf life of their meat. In addition, without any entities in the EU, they were unable to offer the Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) Incoterm® and were reliant on their EU customers to handle import declarations. The combination of reduced shelf life and the inability to assume responsibility for their goods until they arrived at their destination was compromising their ability to remain competitive. They wanted to bring their customs operations in-house, however they had no resident customs expertise.
